The internet term “Horny Jail” is a tongue-in-cheek way of addressing situations where sexual desire is deemed inappropriate or undesirable. This idea has become a way for individuals to express their desires or attraction in a playful, yet subversive way.

Horny Jail showcases a selection of artworks that look in on this phenomenon and the relationship between desire and its self- suppression. The theme of confinement serves as a metaphor for the restrictions placed on sexual expression and the ways in which desire can be both liberating and oppressive.
