In Her Kiss I Taste the Revolution

Queer venues celebrate gay history and are places where people reclaim agency over their bodies and minds through recognition and collective purpose. Guided by the principles of pleasure activism, I seek liberation in the sphere of sexuality. Through photography, I explore the dynamic between power and desire within a political framework. My lens captures intimacy in the underground queer and BDSM scenes, using black and white film to narrate a visual story. A tale about love, struggle, pain, and lust. As an active participant, I immerse myself in the space of the cruise club to grasp what is hidden beneath the surface of eroticism. Visually inspired by Rüdiger Trautsch, Libuše Jarcovjáková, and Karlheinz Weinberger, I document personal moments of vulnerability and resilience. Essentially, the photography archive stands as an ode to the complex human journey and a unified resistance against marginalization.
