I thought I'd give the American Easter holiday a new spin. To give you some context, my friend, David Yancey, showed me this video years ago that I'll never forget. The video depicted, from what I can recall, a gentleman cosplaying as a rabbit for Easter. The video at first seemed rather innocent—simply a guy showing off with his butt exposed towards the camera. And then, my eyes notice an egg being slowly push out of his butt and plops on the ground—a literal egg. I was simultaneously shocked and impressed. Of course, I forwarded it to all my friends. I've wanted to preserve that memory ever since and I thought this Easter of 2022 would be the perfect opportunity to recreate it. Here we have an attractive gentleman dressed in the most minimal Easter bunny outfit I can imagine. He lays, for the camera, a golden egg. In the background we see a basket of other eggs he has produced. But the one he just laid is the one we've all been waiting for. All my life, I thought only hens lay golden eggs. I was wrong. — Aligned with Rome Pride 2022, this piece was shown in the "Ultraqueer" exhibition within the Palazzo Merulana museum in Rome, Italy. This landmark exhibition aimed to challenge the long history of oppressive principles set by the heteropatriarchal binary system, promote identity self-reflection, and raise awareness of homotransphobic and intersectional discrimination. Being a part of the Sex Positivity portion of the exhibit, it was designed to challenge taboos that still permeate today's society and attack stigma that follow various sex practices.
