For many queer people, the internet was never just an alternative to real life. It was the place where real life became possible: a language, an identity, a sense of belonging, found through a screen before finding it anywhere else. Ethel Rossetti’s project is rooted in precisely that experience: one and the same digital space offers recognition and a sense of community and creates physical loneliness. We have grown so accustomed to filling silence with content, that we risk becoming oblivious of our longings and desires. But our bodies do not forget. We still dream the same things as before. We wake up the same way, still reaching for something while across distances, across screens, what the body needs remains unsaid, with us wondering if the closeness was real. I Found Myself in a Place That Doesn’t Exist sits inside this duality. The project does not celebrate digital connection, nor does it condemn it. It asks what happens to the body — to desire, to touch, to the need for physical presence – when intimacy is exclusively experienced through digitality.
