Boyzone

1998 – en cours

série de vidéos

This series of videos is a study of the male body, sometimes isolated but more often in groups: squatters drinking beer with their shirt off, teenagers training in martial-arts in a public garden, boyscouts, bodybuilders, a dog-handler training his dog… Stereotypes are questioned here: how much are we susceptible to them? Boyzone questions the rapport of the individual to the group: how does one become integrated in it? To what extent do we model our behaviour on that of the group we belong to? What signs of our belonging to this group do we exhibit? Through postures, a number of signs is exchanged. A coded body language through which seduction and power struggles are expressed. Begun in 1998, Boyzone is an ongoing series of video works. The exhibition comprises adjustable installations showing at least two videos a piece.
