Teenage Dirtbag , 2025
Nuit Blanche, East End, Toronto, ON
Teenage Dirtbag is an installation exploring boyhood in the late 90s and early 2000s. Set under the tableau of his own imagined teenage bedroom, Alexander reflects on feelings of yearning, dreaming, teen angst, and moments of catching your reflection through pop culture. Using the vehicle of 90’s and early aughts nostalgia, Alexander explores the culture that shaped their queer sensibility and gender exploration. This work is a love letter to the trans kids who become trans adults, and every neighbour that makes up his home– East York. Our futures are vivid.
