Retracing Eden; Ideal Beauties
Photography: courtesy of the artist
Reflecting upon the "male gaze" as the notion of subject matter, artist & photographer Gabriel L. Gooch Blanco uses photographs as a way to trick the viewer into thinking of the body as female and thus revealing the workings of the "male gaze”. Through collage and solarisation techniques, he aims to challenge two-dimensional contemporary views and the categorisation of masculinity and femininity.
