Leman S. Darıcıoğlu, on a rug where they place the photos of trans people who were murdered and committed suicide, read the text they gathered on news about murders and suicides and the perpetrators’ testimonies that are collected through the lawyers of the LGBTI+ movement. After each death news, they insert a needle and one golden butterfly on their legs.
who has come who has gone is an effort to bring into existence the loss of what is not allowed to live and to build a temple for those who died because of hate and also an outcry that tries to mirror the normative world’s own mess to its face.
