Die Leiden des Sebastian
Die Leiden des Sebastian reinterprets the classical image of Saint Sebastian through a vivid contemporary queer lens. RESt:art digitally transforms the wounded male figure in intense pink and green, shifting the familiar religious icon from sacred martyrdom toward a more unstable space of desire, vulnerability, and bodily exposure.
The arrow-pierced body becomes both a symbol of suffering and an object of beauty. By combining historical imagery with artificial colour and digital distortion, the work reflects on the long association between Saint Sebastian, queer desire, persecution, and resilience.
