Photography, Performance, and Performativity

I wander in the borderland of theatrical performance and gender performativity. I explore archetypal masculinities by emerging myself as both subject and object in the artistic process. Becoming with false eyelashes, makeup and costume performs gender and raises multiplicities. The Dudes suite is part of an ongoing photographic inquiry of theories around subjectivity, intra-action, socio-materiality, and dissolution of dichotomies such as nature/culture, knower/known, other/self, natural/artificial, and straight/queer.

My performative understanding of artistic practice does not come from standing at a distance.
