“Dear Alien, Dear Doppelganger” presents photographs and videos that explore queerness as performances of doubling. The four featured artists approach archives, popular culture representations, family photos, and dominant constructs of race and sexuality by reworking and restaging them through drag performances, acts of gender-reversal and literal copies made of the original. Using their lenses, the artists deflect, blur, and redirect the gaze to bypass subjugation and objectification. As such, the works animate double visions that are at once enigmatic and familiar; stranger and kin.
