About the Artwork

The 11th Station of the Cross is part of Cheo Gonzalez’s The Queer Stations of the Cross, a series that reinterprets the Scriptural Way of the Cross from a homoerotic perspective, and belongs to the broader Street Cathedral project. Conceived in response to the traditional Stations of the Cross, it reimagines the Passion and the body of Christ to challenge the normative ideals of race and masculinity embedded in Christian art that shape dominant representations of God.

The work’s physical process begins with images of queer models pasted onto street walls. Altered by weather, time, and passers-by, the surviving fragments are later rescued and reconstructed on the reverse of fly-posters removed from city walls. Gonzalez then adds a delicate gold-leaf halo before returning the pieces to the street or presenting them in art spaces.

The artwork features a concealed wooden backing structure, smaller than the piece itself, which sits between the work and the wall. This creates the illusion that the artwork is floating a few centimetres off the wall, allowing viewers to appreciate the texture and irregular edges of the material.

The wooden support structure measures approximately 100 x 75 CM. The work is secured to this back frame using magnets. The wooden frame itself is mounted to the wall using standard hardware, which can be adapted to the specific gallery's installation requirements.
