Shifting Perspectives in Lex Barberio’s Ambisextrous Series

Softmotion collaborated with artist Lex Barberio to transform their Ambisextrous portrait series into a fine art installation using lenticular printing. The result was a set of interactive, multidimensional portraits that shift as viewers move, bringing themes of gender and identity to life in a way traditional formats can’t match.

Lex Barberio is a queer artist from Miami whose work merges portrait photography, collage, and experimental printing techniques. For Ambisextrous, Lex sought to challenge perceptions of gender expression through visual storytelling. By incorporating Softmotion’s lenticular art expertise, each portrait becomes an evolving narrative—changing perspective as the viewer moves and revealing layers of personality, expression, and truth.

The installation combined lenticular portraits with precise production techniques, ensuring that the shifting visuals were crystal-clear from multiple vantage points. This fine art installation exemplifies how lenticular printing can elevate gallery work, making it more immersive, interactive, and emotionally resonant.
