daniel's destruction deals with the actual death of a young man forced into sex work, his close social environment and the last weeks before his death from an overdose. An attitude to life between sex dates, intoxication and drug dealing is illuminated here from a vulnerable, self-critical inner perspective. The project is a snapshot of social conditions and gay life experiences in today's Berlin. daniel's destruction approaches a grieving process in the midst of stigma and shame.
The piece addresses various forms of violence, abuse and dependency, sexual fantasies of violence, addiction, co-dependency, death by overdose, mysogyny, illness and the discriminatory health system.
