— Jason Wee’s Commonplace is inspired by Arthur Yap’s poetry, as well as the furtive, coded, partially hidden walks, postures and other moves that some men make to claim and revise the public orientations of urban spaces as their own private grounds. He says, ‘I think of this as a choreography, a syntax, and I am interested in the ways that photographs might help plot this syntax. I am also interested in these men’s secrets, their anonymous, libidinous maps’.
