A Siren's Call, Home

My project is a critique of how the design of Grindr affects users of the platform is at the heart of my work. For the last six months, I have photographed people who use Grindr, learning from them while photographing. The beauty and diversity that I encounter among the users of Grindr in real life is in contrast to the compartmentalising and commercialising of the self that the app requires. I am among those resisting Grindr’s exploitation and reductive stereotyping, pushing back with our images and on our terms.
