HOMO-SEXUAL
An exhibition of works that celebrates homosexuality as an enduring part of human culture. Using oblique perspectives to capture male desires, Sam Gatsby Lim and XYZ bridge the valorising of men as well as darker elements of gay men’s sexual lives. This exhibition is an opportunity to explore contemporary male homosexuality and ideas around men looking at other men.

GATSBY LIM:
Gatsby is a Cambodian-Australian visual artist and kink educator. His work in photography and performance challenge conventional notions of beauty, intimacy and the queer male body.

Gatsby shows a selection of digital photographic prints and Instant film that are captured in medias res. The images are an artifact of the complicit experiences made with the men in the images. The expression of love, lust and the ineffable usually only seen behind closed doors…
