Kay Maruta (1996) is currently completing a Master’s degree at L’École des Arts décoratifs Paris. Originally a photographer, he continues to challenge and produce works in diverse fields of expression, including installation, video, sculpture, and music while emphasizing a sense of balance between concept and technique.
For the show, Kay Maruta presents an installation that combines glass and photography. Photographic artworks are transferred and attached onto a glass that glows in iridescent colours. It was taken during the summer of 2021 in a slum in Marseille where six or seven FtM transgender people and queers were living together in a large abandoned house. It was a community that supported each other through the period of mental instability that comes with gender reassignment surgery.
