我们觉得自己不同
卡洛斯•莫塔
“我们觉得自己不同”是一个由许多部分组成的艺术方案，它由一系列插图、海报、一部影像装置和一部网络档案构成。这件作品以哥伦比亚、南韩、挪威和美国的LGBTQ（女同性恋者、男同性恋者、双性恋者、变性人、酷儿）群体的采访为基础，探究有关性取向和性别身份问题的演变以及文化、社会、政治、法制的历史。作品试图创造一个比较的平台，从不同的文化、法制环境中的性的身份政治的角度，来对表征、公民权和民主政治的概念进行批判性的讨论。
什么是LGBTQ权利？为什么要为此而斗争？在“多样的性”的语境下，平等的权利意味着什么？性平等该如何探讨？只靠法律来保证性平等是否足够？传统的文化偏见在一个更加包容的社会是否有可能加以改观？
“我们觉得自己不同”是我作为一个同性恋男人、一个同性恋公民和一个同性恋艺术家来试图去理解与LGBTQ身份有关的文化、政治问题的复杂性，LGBTQ身份在很大程度上界定了我在这个世界上的位置，并且在一定程度上规定了我本身的主体性的形成。
“We Who Feel Differently” is a multi-part art project designed by Carlos Motta, a New York-based Colombian artist. It is composed of a series of illustrations, posters, a video installation and an Internet archive. In July, 2010, part of the project travels to China, to the Other Gallery in Shanghai. It features a series of illustrations representing different but often marginalized queer identities and posters that spell a kind of poem about queer rights based on the language of global LGBTQ protests. These works engage with disparate gender and sexual histories and representations in different parts of the world (Colombia, South Korea, Norway and the U.S). They critically interrogate the dominant representations of the LGBTQ identity and politics in the West by situating gender and sexuality in diverse locations and historical eras. Motta’s work celebrates the poetics of queerness: it takes an anti-normative political stance, yet it also recognizes the multiplicity and contingency of the socially constructed norms, as well as the specific and flexible strategies and tactics of resisting, appropriating and reworking these norms. In other words, it both queers the heterosexual social norms and the LGBTQ identity and politics itself. Through artistic representation of alternative expressions of gender and sexuality, the project opens up alternative imaginaries for multiple and cultural-specific forms of LGBTQ identities and politics.
