So I had the opportunity to have a funded research for my next creation. I researched about the persecution of LGBTQIA+ in modern times and in the western world, since I am a part of that world.

I tried to find common points in-between this topic and Arthur Miller’s play THE CRUCIBLE. A modern witch hunt as you may like to put it. This actually led me to research more about ballroom culture and this furthermore led me to club culture. It’s quite a lot to sum this up in short here, I just wanted to use this platform to show you first visuals that actually made it out of this working process.
I put the knowledge and all that I was planning into photographs that either took alone or with the help of Frederike Coors, a fabulous friend of mine who joined my physical research at FREIRAUM Düsseldorf.
