Every Day A New Safe

We move, we shine, we fight. We build. We lose spaces, and we create new ones.
In this series, I deliberately show the tensions that become visible around queer spaces. What interests me is the subtlety of these spaces and the people who shape them. — But also everything that burns itself into the film when the energy starts moving through the space. — The light shining down on me from the reflections of the disco balls makes me nervous as I sometimes wait two minutes before ending the long exposure.
But it is also this moment of stillness and the settling of my breath while taking photographs that reminds me: as long as we exist, there will be colored light reflecting off the disco balls.
