SUSPENSION explores depiction of the male body on various online bodybuilding websites. Of specific interest are self-shot images captured through the use of a mirror. Typically, this is the most expedient method to document and chart body building progress, but it also becomes a way to seek approval from visitors to the websites. Repetition is inherent with seemingly endless images of the male body cut-up into sections. Spectator approval can be measured through a rating poll supplemented with comments.
The stenciled phrases are my immediate response to the images. They function as physical descriptors, but through repetition begin to tap into our social drive towards unattainable perfection.
