Sweetheart Cha-Cha
2020
At part of KinkOut’s residency at MoMA PS1, attendees of the collective’s Spaces activation were invited to create an ink impression of themselves, alone or with a partner(s), performing an action they wished to memorialize and enter into the archive of kink community history. Subverting the tradition of ballroom dancing footprint instructions, the prints both create a fossil and record of community members’ presence on the day of the event and provide a set of steps for future participants to “follow.” The impressions created challenge the viewer’s reading of recorded body parts, proposed actions and gendered footwear.
