The Last Supper, 1981 explores the theme of queer joy in the face of betrayal while also questioning the intersections of history, representation, and identity.
This piece reimagines Da Vinci's classic painting of The Last Supper through a queer lens using AI image-translation. Repurposing the Christian iconography, the Last Supper is reimagined as a moment of unapologetic queer joy, celebrating the brazen resilience of the community in the face of their betrayal by state institutions.
However, the fact that the image is clearly AI-generated, with its many eerie imperfections, adds a layer of ambiguity, highlighting the fact that this is not a straightforward representation of history but a hopeful reimagining. In doing so, this piece forces us to confront the relationship between representation, history, and our constantly evolving understanding of the past. It leaves us wondering: what is the true nature of history and how do we choose to represent it?
