Biography
Through drawing, installation, performance and video, Robert Gabris's art explores multiple questions of diverse and convertible identity as well as hybridity, based on the representation and perception of the body. As an artist who is both Roma and queer, Robert Gabris examines the mechanisms of marginalisation and exclusion, and has developed a postcolonial critique of institutional structures. In opposition to the patriarchal, capitalist system, he seeks to invent inclusive, sensitive and supportive spaces that celebrate the diversity of life and the variety of emotions.
