This project is a part of Echo-Morphed Mythologies in the character of Nolan Meier.
As in previous productions, Nolan Meier works with references to gender, identity and expressions of self to create phantasmic and arguably ‘useless’ objects. In ‘Morphed Flex’ he imagines a modern day Narcissus and draws a parallel between the performance of power in the context of bodybuilders and in the context of finance and politics. Working with videoclips of public appearances of his subject, Meier uses repetition of gestures to exaggerate the performance of masculinity to the point of parody. How does the theater of power differ from actual power, if at all?
