Franco Dupuy –  Cruising Diaries

Cruising Diaries is both a celebration and a provocation: a portrait of queer pleasure at its most raw, secret, and uncontainable. This photobook/diary explores the elusive visual language of cruising – a queer practice of anonymous desire played out in public spaces, where bodies negotiate consent through gaze, gesture, and instinct.

Franco Dupuy captures what is almost impossible to show: fleeting encounters, unspoken codes, and moments that vanish as quickly as they appear. Set in places that shift after dark – parks, train stations, beaches – the book documents a world that resists the camera, yet insists on being seen. Cruising Diaries becomes both archive and fiction: a love letter to the thrill of the hidden, and the politics of queer pleasure.
