Pomp
Pomp develops an inquiry regarding the male power pose, questioning what traditions and traits define masculinity. Integrating appropriated photography featuring both the artist as well as men and women from popular magazines, the artwork presents an idealized form alongside a broad spectrum of gender realities – and, in doing so, asks where convention and reality meet.
