Abstract
Darkrooms: retracing childhood memories, coinciding with Helsinki Pride Week, is a multi-media exhibition that uses acts of memory to re-enact traumatic pasts and sexual encounters.
Within gay culture, darkrooms are highly sexual spaces that are exclusively used for cruising and anonymous sex. It is a labyrinth of men, where you move through the maze, feeling different bodies. Performing. Grinding. Submitting. To this end, through thoughts, conversations and a reflective process, the presented body of paintings and video/audio sculptures explore an explicit and uncomfortable parallel between child abuse and consensual sex.
Solo Exhibition
21 - 26 June 2018
