Framis’ One Night Tent (2002)* is an installation consisting of two outfits that can be transformed into a tent; a temporary shelter for spontaneous sexual encounters. Framis also provided detailed instructions for using the tent The photographs in the exhibition depict this “reversible architecture for a one-night-stand”. From a transgressive utopia that is subtly yet effectively transformed into reality, Framis constructed these clothing items as a ludic accessory to be turned into a kind of tent that would provide their users with a place to give free rein to their desire. At the same time, the work makes one reflect on how intimate moments are experienced depending on whether they take place in public or private spaces, and how this dichotomy relates to the modern desire for quick, immediate pleasure.
