Recreating Hampstead Heath’s Iconic Gay Cruising Spot for London Exhibition
[ad_1]
Artist Trevor Yeung’s exhibition “Soft Ground” at Gasworks explores the fascinating world of gay cruising culture in London’s Hampstead Heath park. Yeung’s installation includes a soap replica of a notorious “fuck tree” from the heath, symbolizing desire and human interactions. The exhibition delves into the unspoken rules and social dynamics of cruising, capturing the essence of the cruising experience through scent and dim lighting. Yeung’s research on the cruising grounds, including gathering litter and suspended acorns, offers a unique perspective on this complex network of social and sexual relations. The show, which will travel to Hong Kong and China, promises to be as enigmatic and explicit as its London counterpart.
