Lee Campbell presents a live performance combining performance poetry and visual moving imagery made up of his personal archive as an artist of nearly 25 years. It nails a
specific talent queer people need to acquire, being clever at seeing without being seen.

Through colourful, immersive, structured, organic and disorientating collage, this performance narrates the experiences of young queer people through his personal autobiography. The performance starts from the idea that queer existence itself is inherently performative; engaging the various roles that present themselves in a world of diversity. The
idea of building a queer identity was so different pre-Internet. The world wide web introduces new possibilities for the construction of queer identity. In the manner of bricolage – building and constructing from what is at hand, piecing together images and visuals available on the Internet and elsewhere to explain one’s identity to oneself. Sharply and poignantly, the performance evokes many of the feelings that are so common to discovering one’s sexuality in adolescence. The work is raw and authentic, with the artist sharing with the audience his own journey to authenticity and emphasising the message ‘just be yourself’.
