Fabio Valerio Tibollo's photographic set, 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ , celebrates queer existence in 2023. One standout image is Lovers' Army, tentatively dubbed after Rosa von Praunheim’s 1979 German queer documentary, Army of Lovers, or Revolt of the Perverts. In Army, sunset-hued smoke envelopes a vibrant outdoor scene, reminding us that Pride originated as an anti-cop protest. As colorful smog saturates the environment, the crowd can defy categorization, away from -phobes, cops, TERFs, and other fascists seeking to control and police. The series' title alludes to the queer and trans flags, themselves a contradiction, as they simultaneously defy and are influenced by the limitations imposed by nation-states and borders concrete and ideological.
