Push the Feeling (2023) by Florinda Camilleri in collaboration with Romeo Roxman Gatt was exhibited as part of Affect Aliens curated by Elyse Tonna and part of the SPRING Artistic Programme by the Gabriel Caruana Foundation.

Romeo and I become playful aliens, enacting acts of care as a queer alien practice. We go about queering space and data, taking up digital and physical space to open up queer spaces. Our bodies are techno-mediated through mobile phone cameras, using software to rematerialise our bodies as digital art. We use bread-making as a tool for place-making, employing bread dough as a material extension of the Mill, a co-creating agent placed between bodies. Bread dough becomes an archive of the living and nonliving cultures. Speaking with and through bread dough beckons a slowing down, a welcome form of resistance, sometimes so slow that we perform as queer sculpture.

The exhibition Affect Aliens explored the points of encounter between human and more-than-human bodies as sites of creative potential. Here, relational curiosity is materialised through transdisciplinary co-creative processes within collaborative work involving digital media, polaroid photography, clay sculptures, and live performance. For this expansive research-based project, Florinda has invited some special collaborators on board: Sarah Bonaci to research and create with polaroid photography, Romeo Roxman Gatt to research and create with digital imagery, and Kamila Wolszczak Speculative Artifacts to research and create with clay.
