Spyros Rennt has released his fourth photobook, Intertwined. This new work continues his exploration of queer subcultures, but this time, he focuses more on intimacy, sensuality, and community. Unlike his earlier projects, which often highlighted the raw energy of Berlin’s queer nightlife, Intertwined captures quieter, more personal moments. The book features a series of diptychs—paired photographs—that show tender embraces, private reflections, and other subtle expressions of connection.

The process of creating Intertwined was careful and deliberate. Rennt spent hours arranging hundreds of photographs on the floor of his Kreuzberg studio, choosing pairs that would work together. The resulting diptychs feel natural and emotionally rich, with repeated gestures and mirrored compositions that draw viewers into the themes of the book. The images are not overtly sexual but instead focus on the quiet, powerful moments of closeness between people.

The book also reflects changes in queer life after the pandemic. While Rennt’s earlier work often centered on public spaces like clubs, Intertwined shifts toward more private gatherings. This change highlights how queer socialization has evolved in recent years. The book’s design adds to its emotional impact, with yellow-hued paper chosen to create a sense of warmth and closeness.

Rennt describes Intertwined as a celebration of intimacy. “In these challenging times,” he says, “the connections we share with friends, lovers, and our communities feel more important than ever. This book is about those fleeting, transformative moments of closeness.” The book is self-designed by Rennt and includes a foreword by journalist Michele Fossi.
