Through lighting and post-processing with connotations to glossy magazines 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. I wander in the borderland of theatrical performance and gender performativity. The Dudes suite is inquiry and dissolution of dichotomies such as nature/culture, knower/known, other/self, natural/artificial, and straight/queer.
