When the weather warms up, the shores of Bosphorous transform into a new public space. thirsty by the water, a serpent in front of me examines the emergence of a gendered shoreline. Jokes, hops and jumps transform this body of water into an intimate space with invisible walls filtering out the ones included in this intimacy.
