“The homoanarchy zine is an idea that started in the summer of 2021. I used my computer as a digital camera and started taking photos (screenshots) of live sex cam models. I produced text images, dismembered, or distorted bodies with an erotic-fetishist dimension in a revolution against society. I was inspired by the surrealist movement and the photographer André Kertész.”
One of the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic has been the acceleration of many new relationships. One of those was between my roommates Eyal and Sam, who had just started dating a few weeks before the Covid-19 outbreak — a relationship that might have remained casual but blossomed into a 24/7 love affair when Sam moved into our Ridgewood apartment at the beginning of the quarantine.

““Moonchild” is a hymn to freedom. To the right to be different. It is also an encounter with Reine, a young woman full of life and positive energy, who has chosen to play on her uniqueness. Reine has albinism and she makes her a real strength. In my photographic work, I try to show a diversity of bodies. This series is a reflection of this commitment. It is also a way to express my feminist beliefs.”
