Francisco Rodrigues (b.2001, Funchal PT) is an a̶r̶t̶i̶s̶t̶ working across video, web coding, gifs, performance and installation exploring the relationships between technology , queerness, and the internet . He is inspired by wrongness, pop culture and the surrounding socio-political conditions. Identities, narratives, and worlds are deconstructed: horizons are abolished , objects are morphed, meaning becomes c̶̡̥̰͓̘͓̊̀̓ố̸̱͖̇̄͐͠d̴̥͚͙̪̈́̒̊̍̕ͅè̸̹̃d̶͖͉̙͆͛̍̂̊͝ . Devilishly sly and mischievous, Rodrigues’s work focuses on themes around identity, depravity , trash, poor imagery, appropriation, fetishization , mediatization, and perversion . He approaches these subjects by gathering seemingly disparate content and putting it in a blender, eating the resulting pulp but regurgitating it mid-digestion . On loop.
