One of the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic has been the acceleration of many new relationships.

Slava Mogutin’s Polaroid Rage
A Polaroid is a unique photographic document. Each one is a material fact describing what the artist found interesting and beautiful to record. The use to which Slava Mogutin puts the instrument is to document his queer friends—artists, models, porn stars, art world luminaries and people he encountered at Fire Island and Riis Beach.
The subjects share a common thread. They are often gender transgressive—many, as he describes them, are “people on the fringes of society, marginalized lives and souls that don’t have objective representation in contemporary culture.
Moonchild by Cécile André
““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.”
