The Beginning of Identification, and its End (2024)
Directed by Philipp Gufler
· 19m
A video installation composed of a performance by the artist alongside archival film scenes centered on queer and transgender content. Presented across two projections, the film juxtaposes explicit and everyday expressions of non-normative sexuality: from people dancing freely at a lesbian party to Charlotte Charlaque's reverent smile, and the provocative speeches of far-right homosexual politicians. This collage is underscored by a rich soundtrack featuring recitations from Karl Heinrich Ulrichs’s seminal 19th-century texts advocating for decriminalizing homosexual love, interwoven with atmospheric and pulsating soundscapes by English artist Rory Pilgrim. These elements immerse viewers in a poetic and political reflection on the histories and expressions of excluded sexualities and genders.
