Instinct is a queer metaphysical love story that weaves itself through real and imagined sexual encounters across darkrooms, forest cruising zones and highway shoulders. In these fantastical playgrounds, bodies imagine themselves in a multiplicity of forms and long for encounters without preconceived notions of what other bodies desire, what they will need and how they should be touched. INSTINCT asks: what does it mean to actively (un)learn what we might assume about another body’s sex, gender, and desire?
