Last May, I met Alexis Salas and Sarah Luna at the Venice Biennial, together with my friend artist kate hers RHEE. All of them had been working together on a video Chicken Himmel (Bite Me Nietzsche) for Kegels for Hegel. Kegels for Hegel was initiated by Salas and Luna with the intent to bring together academics and artists to sex up social theory. It is, in their own words, "a conceptual art project that queers up the work of philosophers through song and music videos." This way Love Songs for G.W.F. Hegel, Karl Marx and Friends have come about. We got a little tipsy that day, or at least I did, and there and then we agreed upon a collaboration for Kegels for Hegel Pastelegram issue Death Drive, which materialised in three arty chicken stories I wrote, inspired by the video you can see above. You can read my stories here.
