Male Geist

The series explores the concept of masculitity. I contrast the symbols associated with masculinity and their effects with the patterns they bring. It is an attempt to find images of the man of the 21st century.

 The series explores the concept of masculitity. I contrast the symbols associated with masculinity and their effects with the patterns they bring. My project is based on social psychology literature and interviews, which I supplement with my own perspectives. I seek casual links between them and build a system along an associative chain. My aim is to portray the man of the present age, with all his fragility and problems. It is an attempt to find images of the man of the 21st century. I want to nuance the stereotypes associated with men and masculitity in the past. The symbolic and associative images, processed from research and interviews, from the structure of the series. These will be supplemented with images from my own experiences and from my observation of the contemporary environment. In the following, I will create a system to map the male psyche in the 20st century and its ifluences. I started my project during the József Pécsi Photography Grant 2024 and i am currently working on it.
