Clouds are stacked on clouds
the shadows are infinite
pigeons are sitting on the railings
ecstatic we look
Alas to the strong and sensitive
ruled by the weak and insensitive
Alas if we weep at the sight of the black warps
of a coral creature
(Lena Platonos)

A work for the loss of the queer subject in public space, for the grief shared in a community, for claiming justice. In the project we used remnants of our photos, with our bodies missing, referring to a loss, loss of representation, of the bodies.
