HOT stages a choreography of access. The work’s reserves—low light, slightly altered temperature, surfaces inviting touch—are simultaneously welcoming and exclusionary. Those comfortable with close physical proximity and tactile engagement are invited to become co-authors; those who require clear audiovisual cues or textual framing may be left disoriented. In doing so, Beaulieu makes visible how exhibitions are not neutral containers but scripts that favor certain kinds of bodies and behaviors.
