gegen bologna 2025 — GEGEN BERLIN

In collaboration with The Italian Puppy and LFM

Every power dynamic is a game of unstable geometries.
Taut lines, soft curves, tension and release. The mask doesn’t hide, it reveals the rules of the game. Not who commands, but who allows themselves to be commanded. Not who leads, but who permits the body to be led.

Power is never vertical.
It’s a complex knot, a web of permissions and denials, a continuous current of energy slipping between fingers and skin, collar and leash.

Every act of submission is an invisible contract.
Every act of domination, a fragile authorization.
The one who kneels has already set the terms.

This is not the repetition of the bodies we were taught to replicate.
It’s the invention of new postures, new balances, new consents.

The animal form, the wagging tail, the barely audible growl, these are poetic details, signs of radical freedom: surrendering to stay in control, yielding to redefine power.

The one holding the leash does not dominate.
The one wearing it does not obey.
Both are exploring the hidden architecture of desire.

Not submission, but flow.
Not domination, but surrender to sensation.

Be GEGEN.
