Peter David Ramthun (NO)
Peter David Ramthun (he/him) is both a drag artist and a nurse. He has contributed to abject discourse in Norway through initiating the show series “Abjectified” in 2023 and 2024, which is the direct precursor to this collective. Peter has, through his work as a nurse, experienced several professional fields where he has become familiar with bodily functions and fluids, gained insight into how organ failure affects the rest of the body, and how the medical balance of health works. For the past 7 years, he has worked with drag and stage performance, incorporating his knowledge of the body, anatomy, and medicine, and delved into questions about what “beauty” is and the boundary between the aesthetically pleasing and challenging, as well as using the technique of camp, taken from queer drag art.
