MONUMENT
Digital C-type prints
180 × 130 cm
2018
Monument uses photography as a “pseudo-sculptural” medium to examine how masculine authority is constructed. The male body is segmented, framed and suspended among wooden armatures and plinths. These structures give it monumental status while exposing its dependence on external support. Construction and dismantling remain visible within the same arrangement. Bodies, images and supports assemble a heroic figure whose stability is continually in question. Commemoration becomes a provisional act, carrying a myth of masculinity towards its own collapse. The photograph preserves both the figure and the apparatus required to keep it standing, revealing authority as something assembled, maintained and potentially undone.//Fig. 22 Selected works from Monument
