Anthony de bono presents: Untitled (BITCH)

“A Bitch takes shit from no one. You may not like her, but you cannot ignore her....[Bitches] have loud voices and often use them. Bitches are not pretty....Bitches seek their identity strictly thru themselves and what they do. They are subjects, not objects.. More often they are accused of domineering when doing what would be considered natural by a man.” - ‘The BITCH Manifesto’ Jo Freeman 1969

In their first collection, Anthony de Bono brings BITCH back into the spotlight. Following a queer tradition of language reclamation, de Bono re-contextualizes BITCH from a derogatory slur into a statement worn in pride; of ones identity and freedom to exist as a deviant to the societal structure imposed upon us.

Composed entirely of found and second hand pieces which are painted, cut, torn and collaged, de Bono transforms mundane discarded items of clothing into a fierce visual statement. The striking visual display reminds us that existence is political and “You may not like her, but you cannot ignore her” (Freeman, 1969)
