“In Swole I document both my dedication to health and fitness, in terms of nutrition and diet, as well as the communities surrounding these activities who share messages, videos and photos on social media. I’m learning the vocabulary of my new community.”
Artist Artor Jesus Inkerö (1989, Finland) lives in Amsterdam and works with moving image and photography. With the ‘holistic bodily project’ Inkerö attempts to transform himself to reflect the most generic version of contemporary masculinity. By adopting masculine codes and characteristics, Inkerö explores matters such as control, power, safety and privilege.
