“Our place in the gender order constrains our acts, but at the same time it is our acts (and those of others) that place us in the gender order and that bring the different aspects of gender into being. While social structure and available resources provide constraints, it is people who decide just how constrained they will allow themselves to be”(Eckert, McConnell-Ginet, p. 263) | “Our place in the gender order constrains our acts, but at the same time it is our acts (and those of others) that place us in the gender order and that bring the different aspects of gender into being.

'''Summary''' | |||
The multi-channel installation can be summarized as reflections on masculinity by men with different sociocultural backgrounds, with an objective to investigate different approaches on the topic of masculinity filtered by various sociocultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. It attempts also bring forward and give room to a topic that many men don’t feel comfortable elaborating on and attempting to initiate a platform of cultural exchange to the topic at hand. We wish to shed light on the various points of views concerning this issue depending on cultural, socioeconomic background, upbringing, and so forth, certainly aware though, that the approach is not fully representative as we are talking to a selected demographic - young, well educated men pursuing their studies in western Europe. | The multi-channel installation can be summarized as reflections on masculinity by men with different sociocultural backgrounds, with an objective to investigate different approaches on the topic of masculinity filtered by various sociocultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.

The decision on a classical studio setting for the recording sessions is in order to create a homogenic atosphere. This, in the edit, creates the impression of "talking heads" on a monochrome background. These heads simultaneously create a choir of chatter, freely associating on the given topic at hand. It is up to the spectator to later discover similarities, differences, humoristic approaches and so forth. By accumulating these expressions, as they are articulated and centered into a single screen, it will display the fact that many of the triggered thoughts are just birthed into the realm of consciousness as it seems they haven't had room, time and space to be elaborated on previously. | The decision on a classical studio setting for the recording sessions is in order to create a homogenic atosphere.
