De-production zine

Lyónn Wolf’s current work ‘De-production’ focuses on questions of time and trans temporality, thinking upon how the collapse of ecosystems brought about by colonial extractive logics shapes our understandings of reproduction, ageing and work.

Lyónn Wolf is an artist and writer currently engaged with de-productive trans and class poetics. Their work unfolds a desire for structures of being away from logics of reproductive colonial time towards the collective reimagining of social and political futures centred on pleasure and interdependence for queer, trans and crip social bodies. Through para institutional research practices across the development of long term projects Wolf nurtures communities of interest alongside the making of works that engage forms of recycling, thrift and ephemera, resulting in soft modularity, wild archiving and performative intervention, posing questions about value, accumulation and authorship. Lyónn Wolf is a field:arts Independent Artist in conjunction with Iarlaith Ní Fheorais.

The work installed at The Living House (489-491 Antrim Road with HOUSEHOLD was developed while on residency at Flat Time House (FTH) as part of a commission by Askeaton Contemporary Arts that will culminate in a solo exhibition at FTH in November 2025.

A chapter of the project was commissioned by HOUSEHOLD in collaboration with OUTBURST festival programme 2024 where Lyónn had a conversation with theorist and writer Sophie Lewis which can be watched here
