Michael Liani embarked on a journey that took him throughout Israel—from north to south—to piece together a collective portrait made up of hundreds of instances of love from throughout the LGBTQ+ continuum. This archive is composed of personal and intimate frames that together form a silent political pride parade, raising questions about individual and collective identity. The subjects stare at the viewer—at times proudly and defiantly, and at other times with hesitation. Liani photographs the subjects in their natural environments, documenting their homes, beliefs, and dreams with a directness that does not attempt to charm, appease, or please. Contrary to the experience of many, otherness is power, and through Liani’s lens and gaze, otherness as an empowering force manifests precisely in the most prosaic of instances, through the personal and everyday moments in the life of this diverse community.
