Unsettling

Gigi Spelsberg inhabits a new space. We see her old possessions wrapped and bound, in a studio space void – tentatively being moved into their new environment which is still under construction.

A glimpse into someone’s personal sphere undergoing a change, a transformation – neither here nor there but in a liminal phase where things are up in the air. Unsettling is the act of moving, of leaving a space behind, and simultaneously alludes to a feeling of uneasiness – the discomfort we have to endure in order to evolve.

Gigi Spelsberg

Gigi Spelsberg seamlessly navigates the realms of acting, modeling and activism. She applauds the progress made by the queer community, yet emphasizes the need for continued improvement. Gigi advocates representation, but also for breaking down industry structures and promoting queer leadership positions.
