καλὸς κἀγαθός (“good and sublime”) is the ancient greek describtion of the ideal man. He combines his well-trained body with an excellent mind. He is #beautiful #athletic #sophisticated. He is ready for combat at all times, for his body and mind are potent. You can find him carved out of stone, kept for eternity – but also in the eternal stream of images on Instagram.
Under the Title #OMGuSoMasc I started an artistic research about concepts of masculinity and aesthetic modes of representation that are tethered with them. The research seeks a critical deconstruction of those aesthetics, beginning at the origin of western male body representation with ancient Greek sculptures and building a bridge towards today‘s instagram feeds.
Out the frame of #OMGuSoMasc several photo and video works and a performance emerged.
With static photographic collages I began to fragment body parts and overlay them towards infinity. Now I am looking for ways to translate those modes of fragmentation and superposition into something more haptic, materialized, and lively.

The goal is to re-translate those virtual representations into something corporeal...
