"Xu likes to cast his series as an act of reclamation, even rebellion—an attempt, as he writes, to 'queer the heteronormativity' of his parents’ household..."

"... and, in so doing, to disrupt the domesticity that smothers him during his visits home. And yet his images transmit a stubborn love for the parents with whom he shares so little of his new life in America, where he goes by Gary."

From "A Chinese Photographer’s Secret Installations Inside His Parents’ Home" (The New Yorker). Interesting photos at the link if you can get it to work for you. I'm a subscriber. It's a very clean, brightly lit home with lots of photos and posters plastered all over the place. The artist, Guanyu Xu, "grew up in Beijing... in an apartment on the seventeenth floor of a military-housing complex," where "he was forbidden from hanging posters on his bedroom walls" but "accumulated a stash of film and fashion magazines." Xu moved to the United States, then, on a visit back to China to see his parents, while they were away at work, he "transformed the family home into a brazen art installation" he photographed and titled "Temporarily Censored Home." He took all the stuff down before his parents got home from work. This sentence appears in The New Yorker: "As far as he’s aware, neither of his parents knows that he’s gay." And: "He hopes that his parents won’t discover his work, but he accepts that one day they may. 'I’m just taking the risk, I guess.'"
