Dazed Magazineさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Dazed MagazineInstagram)「A cramped, sweaty carriage on the Central Line might not be the first place you’d go looking for love, but throughout history public transport and its adjacent spaces have served as a hotspot for sexual (and particularly LGBTQ+) liberation.⁠ ⁠ This history is at the centre of Love Underground, a new project from photographer @el_hardwick and artist @vankitti which infiltrates TfL with a hidden language of desire.⁠ ⁠ Taking inspiration from public transport’s legacy as a popular cruising spot, as well as queer communication tactics like the Hanky Code and Polari, Schlimm spearheaded a new covert visual language – dubbed the “Cruise Code” – in 2022, as part of a broader DIY residency they named Alt Art on the Underground.⁠ ⁠ Described as a “covert communication system for lonely hearts who are tired of missed connections”, the Cruise Code uses tube station names to symbolise romantic or sexual desires.⁠ ⁠ Originally born out of Schlimm’s interest in anarchist modes of cultural production and context-specific art, the Cruise Code has now been interpreted by Hardwick in a series of portraits of LGBTQ+ people, demonstrating the covert system in action on the London Underground.⁠ ⁠ The photos themselves are now being exhibited at @theoldwaitingroomgallery in Peckham Rye.⁠ ⁠ Take a closer look through the link in our bio 🔗⁠ ⁠ 📷 @el_hardwick @vankitti⁠ ✍️ @t.s.waite」11月12日 1時48分
