“Horntiness with tenderness, that is lovemaking”

Intimacy that is seen, sought, desired, lost or found in old age.

We all want to love and be loved.

I want to present (sexual) intimacy among the elderly in a fascinating way to the next generation. My goal is to break the taboo on intimacy among the elderly. I talk to the elderly and collect their stories.

Personal stories bring you directly into contact with the person themselves.

I get my inspiration from the conversations I have with the elderly. These conversations give me the opportunity to reassess the situation, not only for myself, but for others and the world around us. My goal is to tell stories through images and products as conversation starters. I am a translator.

Do you think that as a society we can show a better understanding and appreciation for the (sexual) intimacy of the elderly?

My project is inspired by the performance Lust Liefde Age by De theatergroep Zout
