Touching on queer identity, race, and power, in this performance to camera work, Chow decodes traditional perceptions of hypermasculine attributes. Overturning a binary understanding of gender, Chow explores the idea of multiple ‘masculinities’ through playing with stereotypical motifs of athleticism (often perceived as a proxy for strength).
