PLOT
Somewhere between photobook, artist's book and diary, Cruising Diaries explores the elusive visual language of cruising - a queer practice of anonymous sexual desire played out in public spaces, where bodies negotiate consent through gaze, gesture and instinct.
Set in places that shift after dark - parks, train stations, beaches, saunas - the book documents a world that resists the camera, yet insists on being seen. He also presents artifacts from these sites - crumpled napkins, locker room keys, used shampoo packets - as evidence from a crime scene, each preserved in a small baggie and captioned with details about the item. In this way, Cruising Diaries becomes both archive and fiction: a love letter to the thrill of the hidden, and the politics of queer pleasure.
