Pride
An outward-facing interpretation: collective voice, movement and public presence.

The Indiscreet History of a Discreet Love
39-track project · three editions
What happens to love when it cannot be named? Queer memory becomes a world of voice, rhythm, masks and image, approached through three distinct listening environments.
Three ways of entering one history.
The project draws on more than two thousand years of queer memory. Its historical references are material for an artistic translation, not documentary reconstructions or proof of a single identity shared across periods. Pride, Velvet and After Dark are parallel interpretations within one project, rather than three unrelated works.

A mask changes with the room.
Mirrors, doors, curtains and doubles recur in the artist’s account of the project. A face is not a permanent emblem: it changes with intimacy, danger and the conditions of being seen.
