Cy X

cy x is an unapologetic force at the intersection of art, eros, and the unknown. As a writer, pleasure ceremonialist, and performance artist, cy explores the provocative interplay between eroticism and space, examining how they co-construct and redefine each other. Their multidisciplinary practice blurs boundaries, capturing the intimate proximity of these realms through projects like EROS STUDY—a fetish magazine and performance lecture series that fosters learning and cruising in public spaces across New York City and beyond.

cy’s work delves into the architectural and spiritual manifestations of the erotic, from glory holes and sex cinemas to the psychological imprints of erotic horror and stigmata. They are also the founder of Pleasure Ceremony, an eco-erotic ceremonial practice and apothecary, and the co-founder of Synth Library NYC.

cy participated in Eyebeam’s Democracy Machine in 2022 and they have previously been a resident and/or had work featured in spaces like Center for Art Research and Alliances / CARA and Pioneer Works
