When historical architectural personalities have lived outside the heterosexual norm their private lives are readily shrouded in mysterious obscurity.

To track down these outsiders of the past historical sources must be read queerly.

It brings together 41 portraits from the 18th to the 20th century in North America Europe and Palestine.
