INSTALLATION: 'THE GAY LIFE'

H 146” x L 49” (1m24 x 3m70) Origin: Paris and New York’s sex shops. Installation,two hundred metal cock-rings (in two sizes), sixteen transparent plexiglass tubes, nineteen pink plastic tubes. When you are gay, you are acquainted with the cock-ring (ring made of metal or rubber), which sustains an erection and prevents ejaculation. It is a type of tourniquet. Small size for the penis, big size for testicles and penis together. Only 20% of the heterosexual population recognizes this object. I asked 2000 gays guys if they knew the cock-ring, and all of them say yes! The cock-ring is the emblem of the gay scene.
