“This performance-based project exposes my sexual fantasies involving men in suits. To create the photographs, I utilize dating apps to invite muscular white men to their homes, where they are then dressed in black suits that I have prepared. During the performance, they followed my instructions and adopted a humble and submissive demeanor, mirroring the way that Asian men have been portrayed in Western pornography. Suits, a garment invented in the West, are often associated with power and class. In my project, I subvert the power dynamic between white men and Asian men and use the resulting photographs to immortalize this reversal of roles.”
