Queer Nightlife is part of the anti-system struggle of a community which has been exposed to reckless discrimination and oppression. It illuminates and colours the night, and sometimes works as a creative dynamo that intensifies it. This dynamo inhabits a ground that goes beyond the contemporary culture which is conditioned to pure consumption and entertainment. Queer Nightlife is a therapeutic moment of fermentation in which it captures the ground of various encounters, horizontal intimacy, cross patterns, solidaristic relations and social struggles.

Deeply and Profoundly are poetic images of the whispers that have always been transmitted through generations. As the whispers rise, a strong rejection of the existence of fictional bodies is revealed. The possibility of representation is problematised in the face of accepted norms and denial. The series of photographs and videos listen to the murmurs coming from the depths. Queer nightlife, where the murmurs turn into sounds, the routine is interrupted, and the implicit and explicit pleasure are experienced together, also explores the possibilities of reproduction.
