    Featuring “Men I Know” by Apolo Gomez

    I've been sitting alone against a tree in a forest in North Brabant for over an hour now, but maybe I've been there for much longer. I had to hand in my phone and watch, my sense of time is completely unreliable. It's a sweltering afternoon in May, the first tropical days of the year. The mosquitoes swarm around my ankles, between the branches lies my orange weekend bag containing a hooded sweater, raincoat, toothbrush, toothpaste, pen and paper – my stuff for this multi-day men's retreat.

  • Viscose Journal 4: Trans

    Francisco J. Galarte wrote about his experience of being photographed by me for Viscose Journal Vol. 4 TRANS. This special issue of Viscose critically explores the numerous relationships between transness and fashion. The issue sets out to ask two ambivalent questions: what is a fashion theory of transness, and what might a trans theory of fashion be? Viscose 04 productively confronts fashion studies with trans aesthetics and trans studies, and attempts to excavate the largely invisible archives of trans history that form the underside of fashion itself.

    The issue features a wealth of archival and contemporary moments of trans-fashion production spanning 50 years.
