Irréversible (Triptych)

(2019, Arnhem, The Netherlands – shot at Hotel Bizar Bazar)

“Irréversible” unfolds like a dark liturgy of control and surrender. Set beneath chandeliers and faded grandeur, the triptych stages a ritual of intimacy where identity dissolves behind latex and light. The figures, enclosed in gloss and silence, inhabit a theatre of consent and trust — where power is both exchanged and transcended. The cinematic mise-en-scène, reminiscent of a lost European decadence, turns the act itself into a tableau of restraint and revelation. Time seems to halt, suspended in the golden flicker of the chandelier.
