Interjection Calendar
The Interjection Calendar is an online project, devised and hosted by Montez Press. Each month an artist or writer is commissioned to produce a new piece of work for release on our website. The PDF can be downloaded for free and there are 12 releases per year, in line with the calendar theme. At the end of the year the collection is published, demonstrating a diverse range of collaborations and experimental works. The calendar reflects the current importance of online content media, pushing image/text relationships in this domain through contemporary art writing.

2026/09 Elden Zachery – How Can You Be So Loved

Download

A larger-than-life, queer performance artist of Kristang heritage and trained in Butoh, Elden Zachery (b. 2002) operates from the belief of the body as a fleshy marker of space and time, taking interest in human behaviour and cultures and social phenomenon – their performance practice being a reaction to the electricity of life. Queerness, interculturality and ecology come together as their morningstar in the creation of performance work and workshops, aiming to comment on and propose body-responsive care for the cracks and dark corners of our lived reality. Elden’s work spans theatre work, site-responsive/specific performances, film, modelling, movement direction, costume design, while facing the world of art-making with an open heart and a commitment to adding valuable perspective to the world from their corner of the universe.
