Grindr Works
Photography democratizes the process of identity building. Through it, we cement and convey messages about how we perceive ourselves and how we expect to be perceived by others. These works are part of a project that involves the decontextualization of images found on Grindr and other gay dating apps. By eliminating everything but the body, I put the focus on the semiotics of self-objectification. My aim is to incite conversation around the dichotomies of hegemonic values: femininity and masculinity; private and public; gay and straight; real and virtual.
