DescriptionThis photographic series presents men from Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, France, Italy, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and the United States who have been in long-term gay relationships. Some met young, others in their sixties, some at discos or gyms and others through friends. They have different hopes, passions, fears, and interpretations of love, but they create strong and powerful unions. Influenced by Morquecho’s Mexican heritage, the images nonetheless break national boundaries and transport viewers to a world where they can sense equality, beauty, and strength among differences.
