Berlin

Watercolor of two trans bodies floating together in water. One pink being with long hair floating butt to the sun over a purple sting ray. One being light lemon green lavender and pink with furry legs on their back with seaweed floating between their crotch and being touched on their stomach by a tentacle. The water is dark blue and grey and filled with seaweed.

Holy Rebirth of a Youthful Pilgrim

We kiss and slowly undress, as we impatiently caress and taste each other’s bodies like two starved pilgrims at the end of their long walking day. We are both sweating a lot. Our bodies are hot with desire. I feel like a scallop floating in the ocean, soaked in the holy water of desire and touch.

The photo shows an exhibition view of Burlungis from outside. The double doors of the gallery space Galerie im Turm are wide open. Above, the gallery name is lettered in metal on the stone wall. The stage installation by Irene Fernandez Arcas is visible inside.

Live performance documentation. The room is dark except for a flood lighting that illuminates a large wooden table, whose left side is strewn with various kitchen implements (hot plate, saute pan, tableware) and baking ingredients and the two nude performers wearing green aprons and black surgical gloves. One person is on top of the left side of the table, knees bent, hunched over with their arms above their head, while the other person is standing behind them on the floor, penetrating their asshole with an implement. In the dim background, three tiers of bleacher style seating show a packed audience of spectators.
