\nFor many LGBT youth across the world, home is less about where you grow up than it is a sense of community that allows you to feel safe. This concept is nothing new, with the 1991 documentary “Paris is Burning” highlighting the importance of gay safe spaces, especially among POC. Yet with many of London’s LGBT venues facing closure, the nightclub massacre\u00a0in Orlando and the election of blatant\u00a0homophobe Mike Pence as America’s next Vice-President, more and more queer people feel their rights are under attack \u2013 and rightfully so. In this seemingly fragile time,\u00a0Matt Lambert<\/a>\u00a0teams up with hook-up app Grindr to present “Home”, a book that the Berlin-based photographer labels\u00a0“a response to cynical conservatives in America who mocked the idea that people celebrated gay clubs and bars as sacred spaces”.
\nThrough this project, Lambert sheds light on the impact of newer,\u00a0digitalised sancuatries. The photographer\u00a0states that he is “not trying to present this dystopian view of the world, that romance is dead as a result of the internet, but rather to say \u2018hey, we\u2019re here now and digital spaces have done some really fucking incredible things for people over the last couple of years.\u2019”
\nBy asking young gay men what they consider to be a safe space, the book aims to\u00a0document the “ways digital or virtual spaces have helped them find a sanctuary or solidarity.” Throughout “Home”, intimate and sexually charged photographs are coupled with telling stories from multiple protagonists. Providing art direction is\u00a0the Berlin duo Studio Yukido, who, along with Lambert, successfully\u00a0present the benefits of\u00a0technology on\u00a0LGBT communities. This release\u00a0marks the beginning of\u00a0an ongoing collaborative relationship between Grindr\u00a0and Lambert, as the photographer has just been assigned as\u00a0Global Commissioning Director for content creation.
