Three friends—a straight woman and two queer men—eat, read, and relax nude together on an FKK beach. To witness this moment, one must peer through a small hole. This controlled perspective transforms the act of seeing into deliberate voyeurism, impling critique of the gaze and amplifying the tension between public and private. By placing this intimate setting in a busy city context, the installation disrupts traditional boundaries, challenging societal norms around nudity, intimacy and privacy. The  concept of performativity comes into play as these mundane yet radical acts resist normative expectations of public behavior, particularly for queer bodies. The restricted view doesn’t just challenge assumptions but also reclaims visibility for marginalized identities, reflecting the Freikörperkultur (FKK) ethos of nudity as resistance. The aperture acts as a societal glitch, exposing flaws in how bodies and identities are framed. By offering a selective view, it critiques capitalist-driven image production amidst the relentless flow of media imagery.

What slips through the aperture isn’t just a scene—it’s a challenge to the way we see and the systems that control it.
