Tjerre Lucas Bijker

Tjerre Lucas Bijker is a fashion practitioner, embodied researcher, writer, and self-publisher, who explores different perspectives on the subversive and queer body in fashion.

In Subverting the Straight-Line: Notes on the Repression of the Queer Body in Capital and Liberating Tactics of subversion, Tjerre Lucas Bijker challenges and expands our understanding of queerness within the capitalist world system, highlighting the commodification and regulation of queerness by late-stage capitalism.

As ways of counteracting these forces, Tjerre Lucas proposes a set of liberating tactics that employ subversion and aim to un-straighten and queer the straight-line of capital. The critical reading method of the Camp Reading practice examines the connections between capitalism, labour, and queerness, shifting focus from passive consumption of seemingly queer goods,  to active production of queering thought, affect, and knowledge. Doing Ephemera's performative garments utilise the queering nature of ephemerality, proposing a transient, in-between, and disorienting queer method, way of working, and fashion design strategy.
