For a long time, being &#8220;the country bumpkin&#8221; and the &#8220;queer&#8221; allowed me to take the step back necessary for my survival. I became a visual artist and quickly returned to it, shifting the boundaries from within by asserting myself and showing this rural world differently. Transforming shame into pride.<br>In the manure, I found the glitter.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&#8220;The son of farmers, Damien Rouxel grew up on a farm. He knows the harshness, the codes, the tools, the language of the farming world. His visual work (photography, video, sculpture, installation, and performance) aims to reclaim the farm, transforming it into a playground where the animals, his parents and sister, the machines, the tools, and everything that makes up the work environment become the setting and the actors of his productions. These hybridize different avenues of research such as his personal history, his family, his sexual identity, art history, the question of the monster, the myth, the model, cross-dressing, and the mask. The farm thus becomes the theater of an imagination playing with both freedom and complexity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">(Julie Crenn on Damien, 2018)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Clop-queer-1-780x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-429\" style=\"width:346px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Clop-queer-1-780x1200.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Clop-queer-1-520x800.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Clop-queer-1-768x1182.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Clop-queer-1-998x1536.jpg 998w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Clop-queer-1-1331x2048.jpg 1331w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Clop-queer-1-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Clop-queer-1.jpg 1664w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9422-1200x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-563\" style=\"width:343px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9422-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9422-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9422-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9422-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9422-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9422-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9422.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"744\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Le-Protecteur-min-744x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-565\" style=\"width:343px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Le-Protecteur-min-744x1200.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Le-Protecteur-min-496x800.jpg 496w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Le-Protecteur-min-768x1239.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Le-Protecteur-min-952x1536.jpg 952w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Le-Protecteur-min-1270x2048.jpg 1270w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Le-Protecteur-min-7x12.jpg 7w, https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Le-Protecteur-min.jpg 1587w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 744px) 100vw, 744px\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Damien Rouxel \u0219i-a finalizat studiile superioare \u00een arte la EESAB din Quimper, precum \u0219i \u00een cadrul departamentului de Istoria Artei \u0219i Arheologie al Universit\u0103\u021bii din Quimper.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":427,"template":"","meta":{"arac_resident_start":"2024-01-01","arac_resident_end":"2024-12-31"},"residency_location":[24],"class_list":["post-390","resident","type-resident","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","residency_location-maramures"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resident\/390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resident"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/resident"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/427"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"residency_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.arac.ro\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/residency_location?post=390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
