The Path of Love by Omar Mismar is a 30-day project where the artist uses Grindr to navigate the city, choosing a man each day and tracking his routes to trace paths of desire and movement through urban space.

For a period of 30 days, Mismar took a walk every day, navigating the city using Grindr, the geo-location gay mobile app that tells its users the vicinity of gay men around them. Each day he picked a man he desired, and tried to get as close as possible to him using the app. He kept a record of his routes and traced them into paths.

A narrow gap in a drystone wall or rock face ie one a fat man would be foolish to try to get through. A number exist in the Lake District bearing that specific name but it is also a general term in Cumbria for any narrow gap.
