Based on her interest in specific places and what people experience there, Snelling conducted research on Japan’s love hotels and male host clubs. At love hotels she interviewed costumed collaborators about love and interpersonal relationships, while at host clubs she interviewed hosts (young male entertainer / companions) and documented their services such as pouring drinks and chatting with female customers. She presents the resulting photographs and a new short film, as well as miniature 3D sculptures of love hotels and host clubs, to replicate the experiences of denizens of the neon-lit streets.
The exhibition is on view until September 24, 2023.
