Manifesto Contra-sexual

“It is not possible to be queer, definitively queer, queer once and for all, as queer is neither an identity nor a look, but a critical attitude with regards to the way in which identities are produced and settled. Queer is a practice, a group of strategies made up to resist the norm, a way of life”. Paul Preciado

This work is an on-going research on the subversive practices of sexual identities. “Counter sexuality” is a theory of the body that situates itself outside the oppositions of man/woman, masculine/feminine, heterosexuality/homosexuality. The characters I choose to photograph are my mirror: queer, young people in search for their own self. A collage of photos from a frenzied but displaced time, where the days are short and the nights are endless.
