Arthur Guilleminot
Arthur Guilleminot is an ecodeviant artist and positive maverick who practices fertile and generative disobedience. Operating at the intersection of design, performance, fashion, and visual art, he creates provocative visuals and vulnerable semantics, casting transilient, pleasureful futures for our world. He proposes radically regenerative approaches to meet our present and persistent need for change.
Through his research at the Planetary Poetics Masterās, he examined the entangled discourses and practices of mainstream environmentalism and patriarchy, revealing how both human and non-human ecosystems are subjected to acts of trans-feminisation under patriarchal violence. These coercive entanglements unfold through his work, which focuses on pollution as a manifestation of capitalismās excess, probing how this, through an ecocritical lens, can serve as a āsite-cum-swampā for a potential queer assembly for marginalised communities and more-than-human kin, both suffering from the impact of petromasculine violence.
His practice works towards disavowing (trans-)misogynistic, racist, and queerphobic understandings of ecological collapse. From this point of rupture, he seeks to carve out a space for other visionsāfragile, emergent, and speculativeāthat could offer ways to approach, repair, and tend to our shared breakdowns.
