As h0chbegabt, they deal with social structures and translate them into humorous fantasy worlds in order to process their own experiences of discrimination and make their world of experience more comprehensible for a broad audience. In doing so, they speak from a trans-nonbinary and sex worker perspective. Their collaboration has already resulted in two short films and the concept for VAMPIRE(N).
