High Heel Slide

2019

The High heel slide is a playful critique of the ‘resentment of femininity’ that exists within the gay community. Last year a man was refused entry to a gay nightclub because he was wearing high heel platforms. The incident sparked a series of protests outside the venue and a bitter dispute between the owners and protesters. The piece does not choose sides but instead contributes to the debate. There should be spaces where gay men could experience extreme and hyper-masculinity. But at what cost? ‘High heel slide’ is an invitation to all gay men who need to embrace their femininity.
