SlangBang

2023 2min

In gay male slang, "bears" and "cubs" refer to body shapes and age groups; a "bear" usually refers to a hairy plus size man whilst a "cub" is a younger bear. An "otter" is a slimmer hairy man whilst a ‘wolf’ is an older "daddy." A kaleidoscope of gay male bodies, Busby Berkeley-style, SLANGBANG explores the idea of being codified by a set of ocular-centric taxonomic principles that are meant to determine who you are as a person and how you function in a relationship. It reflects on the kinds of role gay men are expected to conform to, where identity becomes something detached or external and how you can fit into that.
