Our depth is the thickness of our body, our all touching itself. Where top and bottom, inside and outside, in front and behind, above and below are not separated, remote, out of touch. Our all intermingled. Without breaks or gaps.”

Something happened to queerness in the 1990s. Not only did we begin to describe more and more forms of non-normative desire and embodiment as ‘queer’ – with the advent of the internet, queer communities also became digitised.
