On a visit to a porn shop in New York City's Christopher Street in 1995, I encountered a display of more than thirty titles of gay male pornographic videos with African, Latinos, Asian, and Arabs male actors. I was pleased to find male body images representing experiences marked on my body. On the other hand, I felt repulsive when I understood the capitalist and racialized signifiers of these images. For a couple of years, I found, appropriated, and modified these images on the net for my own and my friends' pleasure. This site is the end of a cycle. I hope this net artwork could render a pleasurable space and experiences for Latino, African, Asian, Indigenous, and Arab gay males. |
