As a collaborative singularity, AMAE focuses on the tensions generated in marginalised bodies by heteronormative society. Amae’s research contaminates traditional languages of art communication (poetry, video, sound, photography, installation, performance) with mass media via photographic works and performances, which are often broadcast live on the web. Working on international platforms across the EU, AMAE focuses on intersubjectivity and transfer in performance art; inheritance and mimicry of behaviour; mimicry against emulation; identification and conflict; primary society and contemporary society; time and space of assimilation of empathetic behaviours; behaviours towards otherness; transient bodies; augmented reality.

Maschilità XX [Masculinity XX] is a poetic-photographic project that tells of “masculinity without the man,” the “masculine XX,” the one reinterpreted and lived by women (at least genetically) in its most diverse forms; that of androgynous women, of masculine lesbians (butch), of the theatricality of Drag Kings or of that embodied by F2M trans and the more playful and occasional transvestites.
The projects is developed via a series of photographic portraits in diptych form, each followed by a poetic composition and representing the same person in two versions – a “neutral” one, dressed in jeans and white top and a “masculine” other, wearing and posing in the way one feels they’re expressing themselves in all their “masculinity.” The poems, inspired by the interviews with the subjects, are brief narrations of daily lives and the distinctive interpretations each subject has on the idea of the masculine.
