True Aesthetics of the World - Schrödinger's Cat

In Schrödinger’s Cat, love exists in a glitchy limbo—half-dead, half-alive, and fully cropped. Through the damsel fish’s unforgiving black-and-white filter, legends like Vita and Virginia, Achilles and Patroclus, Alan Turing, Gerda Wegener and Lily Elbe, Elisa and Marcella are resurrected, only to be pitted against today’s glitter-drenched queer-baiting factory. Once erased by society, queer love now edits itself—cropped at the edges, framed just right, so the world sees what it’s comfortable seeing. No need for closets when a strategic crop does the trick.

 

Technology doesn’t honor these iconic loves; it edits them for the feed, trimming their wild truths into neat, clickable narratives. Meanwhile, the queer-baiting industry thrives—representation served lukewarm, just gay enough to tease.

Somewhere between a soft-focus Instagram post and a rainbow coded campaign, history gets a filter it never asked for.

 

The kicker? We’re the ones wielding the crop tool, repackaging their audacity into aesthetics while swiping left on their real legacy. Dead and alive at the same time, the figures in the artwork float between eras, trapped in the quantum blur of authenticity, insecurity, and performance. Turns out, it’s not just the cat in the box—it’s love itself, too real to trend, too staged to matter.
