Time Rendezvous
LGBTQ photographer’s “Time Rendezvous” series
“Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.”
―
Boston-based LGBTQ artist Dmitriy Gushchin has been captivated by antique watch mechanisms since childhood. The intricate beauty and elegance of old-fashioned timepieces became the foundation of inspiration for his series “Time Rendezvous.” In these works, Dmitriy transforms mechanical precision into a poetic exploration of time itself, revealing its layered meanings beyond mere measurement.
For Dmitriy, time is not only a sequence of hours and minutes but a profound philosophical connotation—a force that shapes memory, identity, and human connection. Through composite portraiture infused with the imagery of antique watches, “Time Rendezvous” reflects on the tension between permanence and transience, technology and humanity, the mechanical and the emotional.
This series invites viewers to contemplate time as both a universal constant and a deeply personal experience. Each image becomes a rendezvous point where past and present converge, where queer identity and timeless symbolism intertwine.
Here you can explore a limited selection from Dmitriy Gushchin’s “Time Rendezvous” series.
Although many of the images created by Boston-based gay photo artist Dmitriy Gushchin have been banned by Instagram and other social platforms under the label of “containing nudity,” Dmitriy sees this as part of a broader pattern of anti-LGBTQ censorship. What began as his visionary series “Obscure Dream Liberation” has unexpectedly turned into the “Instagram Nightmare”—a struggle against the silencing of queer artistic expression in digital spaces.
Currently, Dmitriy’s Instagram account is “shadow blocked,” appearing private to non-subscribers and limiting the visibility of his work. This suppression highlights the urgent need to defend LGBTQ+ rights and freedom of expression. Art should never be censored simply for its honesty, vulnerability, or celebration of queer identity.
By subscribing and following accounts like Dmitriy’s, you stand in solidarity with queer artists who refuse to be erased. He is not alone—this is a collective fight, and every voice matters. Together, we can resist censorship and affirm the power of queer creativity.
