When I shot and directed “Immunity” it was one of my favourite shoot. I spent only 6 days in LA and also shot a music video and attended to red carpet in that short time. However I had no idea how many hidden symbolic elements will be in this film. I always loved the imagery, but I didn’t know I will transition in a few years. This image which I always loved is full of with emotions and desperate fragmented almost suicidal symbolism. I was so down those years its almost hard to even watch the film. I still love it and its still valid, but new layers emerge now (like with Cry of the City) and it has so different meaning then I thought it had. I wonder if the whole Americana, pulp fiction / b-movies vibes were just a cover up of deeper meanings and issues.

Film still from previous work Immunity. Looking this with fresh eyes makes me realise how much suffering hide in these imagery. A time before coming out as trans. You can feel the almost violent clashes of symbolism. Cold man made machine collides with the sensitive female beuty on this blurry collage.

Lovely in a dress, kind in the soul. No need to pretend that “I’m cooler than you”

I used to film my fears and desires — now I’m living my truth 💐
Back then, a golden-hour city seen through the lens of addiction, repetition and loneliness.
A moment that surfaced from the making of Cry of the City (2017).
