Lee Edelman in Warsaw

LEE EDELMAN IN WARSAW

--for Slavoj Žižek

One of the visitors at the Gay Art Gallery Show was seemingly rather perplexed. 

“But I simply don’t understand,” the poor thing said all confused.

She turned to the tour guide and said: “The title of this piece is “Lee Edelman in Warsaw.” I like it very much. These two young men, one of whom is Edelman’s young lover. It looks as if they’d just had sex. But where’s Mr. Edelman?”

The tourguide smiled, nodding knowingly.

“That’s because, my dear, Miss Edelman is in Warsaw.”
