Peter Brandt

I am interested in, how the male is represented and constructed in culture, with all it's stereotyping pictures and it's suppressing mechanism. My work is about freeing the man (and the woman) from the normative codes in our culture - a society, a power system that has decided collective how we should behave as men and how we shall perform acceptable masculinity.

If we don't accept, agree and reproduce this form of acceptable masculinity we fail as men and I am interested in this "failure", to giving it voice and dignity.
