Cruising Diaries, Franco Dupuy

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.
