Psychedelia, sun and subversion are themes that dominate these artists' work. As we enter the final months of a surreal year, it's worth taking heed of their reimagined worlds.
Photography: Lorenzo Triburgo
After a decade taking testosterone, artist Lorenzo Triburgo decided to stop. A new series of photographs, taken on the People’s Beach in NYC by his partner Sarah Van Dyck, reimagine his nude body, which had been perceived to be cis male. Triburgo references traditional masculine poses drawn from classical sculpture and painting—but adorned in glitter, scintillating and celebratory. Various gazes thus open up and intersect: the queer gaze, on a queer body, a lover’s gaze on their partner; the male gaze from history and the female gaze through the camera. The series is now on show at Baxter Street, NYC, the culmination of a residency there. (Charlotte Jansen)
