For their new project Heat Transfer, Peter Cage (aka Peter Clough) deploys thermal cameras at FAUCET, a queer sex party focusing on piss play, capturing heat rather than light to document a space where traditional photography would be impossible. The resulting images, capturing the real and unrehearsed encounters between bodies in video and still photographs, foreground both degradation and care, two threads that form the backbone of queer BDSM.

More information about FAUCET can be found at nycinferno.substack.com

Heat Transfer, 2024, digital video, 1 hour 37 minutes

This video is intended to be screened while you play, with the music of your choice

The music played during the exhibition is based on the music played during FAUCET while the footage was captured. You can access the playlist here:
