QUEER XXXTREME SPORTS (QXS)

is a method and a practice,
composed by soil.






QUEER XXXTREME SPORTS THEORY

“i point at things and call them queer xtreme sports almost everyday. i guess queer extreme sports is anything mad you do to taste life for all that it is? the boundlessness of spirit wanting to experience both luxurious ecstatic abundance as well as lying in the ditch somewhere deprived, crying and shaking. 
 QXS are especially the things that you really are ‘not supposed’ to do. the things that might shatter you and yet you move towards them. hurt you and yet why would you resist. trigger you but you can’t look away. against institutional rationalism. against the ego’s longing for stability and neatness and binding. going & going & breaking & breaking (away from)”
