Artist statement

Mario Kiesenhofer reflects the shift of gay cruising from outdoor locations to indoor sex clubs into virtual spaces and onto islands. He layers and frames his photographs with display materials such as tinted or etched glass, creating spheres of maximum intimacy, capturing how queer men build, protect and control safe spaces. His works reflect the absence of the body and question the virtualized subject.
