A photobook-cum-diary portrait of queer pleasure at its most raw, secret and uncontainable

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. Buenos Aires-born photographer and director Franco Dupuy miraculously captures what seems almost impossible to portray: fleeting encounters, unspoken codes and moments that vanish as quickly as they appear. 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.
