敞開自我


Gel medium image transfer on the artist’s used clothes, stainless steel tube, stainless steel chains
215 x 145 cm
2024
Developed from the artist’s long-term research into the profile images on gay dating apps (see  YesYesYes) and their subsequent manipulation through generative AI, the work results in an image manually transferred onto the artist’s old shirts. The original composition survives only as exhausted tatters.

Yellowed, stained, and sewn together to reconstruct the image, the clothes recall the intimacy that is intensely desired yet perpetually lost—echoing a collective longing to be seen, worshipped, and consumed.


*This work was developed during De Sarthe Artist Residency 2024.
