Kiki on steroid Exhibit in Amsterdam 18nov-04 janvier 2009

XX Boys exhibit @ Mediamatic in Amsterdam for Kiki on Steroids: www.mediamatic.net/page/55688/en

Mediamatic's exhibition Kiki on Steroids! presents Kael T Block's project XX Boys, a collection of photographs of transboys. Rooted in his own experience as a transboy or 'FtM' (Female to Male), the series is a personal exploration of masculinity, gender binaries and gender fluidity. The photos are often close-up, in-your-face portraits, that directly confront the viewer. An important aspect of the project is its presence on the internet, where the trans community comes together and XX Boys can communicate with each other and participate.

The installation was amazing, they create a gigantic dark maze for the 50 XX Boys pictures. Front lights were given to the visitor at the entrance of the labyrinth.
