| description | In a retrospective approach of the whole work of the visual and performance artist Steven Cohen (1962‑ …), this paper questions different forms of transition which appears in it and contribute to transform the artist into an original “wandering queer”.

From public activism to perfoming arts, from visual or cinematographic to real presence, interweaving traumatic memories (Apartheid, Shoah), Steven Cohen defines a specific queer aesthetic, based on dispersion and ectasis rather than only gender subversion or parody. |
