A video installation, “I am curious Masculine” represents an accumulation of masculine ideals and desires, practiced and enacted, realized and unrealized.
Born out of an intimate preoccupation with my own masculinity and a desire to interrogate our evolving interpretation of what it means to be a man, “I am curious Masculine” unpacks and repacks the collateral of male identity. In fashioning a passable self, men seek to perform successfully the discourses of masculinity, navigating the space between their perceived ideals and their actual patterns of practice. It is this notion, that masculinities are participatory and actively sought after by men (and thus created by them), that resides in the words, objects, and images of “I am curious Masculine.”
