About the Item

The Myths of Human Erectness explores the human body as both subject and object, interrogating the myths surrounding masculinity, erectness, and human supremacy. The male figure emerges as something between flesh and artifact: inert yet monumental, sculptural yet estranged from its own humanity. It becomes an object of value —cold, metallic, imposing— echoing the aura of a silver statue, simultaneously precious and unsettling. This transformation questions the inherited narrative of erectness —a symbol of dominance, progress, and ego rooted in the evolutionary leap from quadruped to biped— and the authority that humans have claimed over the world and other species By reimagining the body as an object-tool, The Myths of Human Erectness subverts traditional visual codes of virility and power, inviting the viewer to reflect on the fragility of the human versus the object and the machine. Javier Rey photographs explores the physical structure and the possibilities of sculpture through photography. Metallic archival pigment print Edition of 3 + 1AP
