With Intertwined, Rennt shifts his focus from queer nightlife to more intimate moments of connection, presenting a series of insights that explore closeness, desire, and community.

“I wanted to focus on the quiet power of intimacy”

“My work has always celebrated queer visibility, but with Intertwined, I wanted to focus on the quiet power of intimacy,” Rennt has said in a statement.

“In these challenging times, the connections we share with friends, lovers, and our communities have never felt more vital.

“This book is my testament to those fleeting, transformative moments of closeness.”

The 128-page book is self-designed by Rennt and will feature a foreword by Michele Fossi.

Intertwined follows the success of Rennt’s Another Excess (2018), Lust Surrender (2020), and Corporeal (2023).

His work has been exhibited in group shows across Europe and the US and featured in a wide range of publications, including BUTT Magazine, Interview, i-D, Dazed, Sleek, Indie, and LAMPOON.
