DescriptionPrototype I and Prototype II are the first and second works of a trilogy set in the Interbau postwar housing project in Berlin, drawing on a wide range of feminist perspectives within queer theory, psychoanalysis, quantum physics, genetics, cybernetics and systems biology. It focuses on female to male gender transition and the intra-actions of bodies, objects and drives. Both works were shown in Doireann O’Malley’s solo exhibition, Prototypes, at Hugh Lane Gallery in 2018.
