It’s always a pleasure and an honor to collaborate with @natachavoliakovsky - one of my favorite political performance artists. Natacha’s performances are always at their most raw, and as a filmmaker it’s intoxicating to work with someone with boundless courage to go into the darkest of places. After all, thats where we find rebirth.
This is a teaser for “REPARAR HASTA DEFORMAR,” or “Repairing to the Point of Deformation” - a part of “EKDYSIS” - Natacha’s first solo show in Madrid’s @corvusblancgallery .
Shot on @reddigitalcinema with @dzofilm lenses, color graded with @filmconvert Kodak 5207 Vis3
Special thanks to my co conspirator @dakoit
You can see the exhibition and the full uncensored film until April 24th.

Eight years. No drugs, no booze. Eight years of being my own master. From here to eternity. This years selfie: a video self-portrait set to the delicious dark techno of @metaraph_ // let’s claim our flowers and devour them. Inspired by my film Berlin which finally comes out this Spring. The Future is Unwritten.
Incase there’s any confusion as to where I stand. Proudly anti-fascist, anti-MAGA, anti-ICE, anti-Gestapo in our streets murdering with impunity. Proud American and descendent of immigrants. Proud descendent of my greatx3 grandfather who fought the Confederacy. This is our time to organize and resist an authoritarian regime in actuality, not in the abstract. Join a local network and get involved. I’m putting my face on this post because unlike ICE, I’m owning what I stand for and not hiding like a coward.
Doing time with the legend @paulsmithphotography using a modded Berkeley Colortran Fresnel as a flash, if you even care, which you totally should because it is awesome. Selects from an amazing shoot ⚡️hair by my love @timursadyq makeup by homegirl @amberlikethecolor
My essence: stuck between perpetually skeptical and blissfully lost in the supermarket. - stills from a photoshoot with the insanely talented @jeffreymosierphotography , master of negative fill, and a thank you to @sonalshahofficial for helping me see me. After a year with @stellaadler & @artofactingstudio it’s overwhelmingly beautiful to realize that the character I’ve grown most confident in playing is myself. Hair by my love @timursadyq
