Cain

Sneak peek of some of the fab artists from ‘CRUISING AMSTERDAM’ opening on Friday in the heart of Amsterdam’s glorious red light district. Meet dancer, personal trainer and self-described “transsexual gogo boy” Cain, who created this series about navigating gay expectations and archetypes together with photographer Kees de Klein. Cain told us: “Sometimes I observe someone and wonder what they feel… then it shifts into wanting to put my body into that sensory experience, like leather on my skin or being put in a chokehold. There’s something beautiful to me about putting my trans body in these visual codes.” Amen! 

You can see ‘What We Are Makes Me Real to Myself’ and the work of several other cruise-forward artists at No Limits! Art Castle from 6 March until 31 May, as a part of the Warmoes Biennial.
