This interaction made on a site-specific sculpture within The Chelsea Piers aims to reactivate the history of this particular space as a site of queer memory and resistance by erotically engaging with these phallic looking objects from the present. I also take into consideration the ideas on toxicity and queerness posed by Mel Chen in Toxic Animacies, Inanimate Affections (2011).
