Jesse Burke: Intertidal

'Intertidal' addresses the ambivalent domain between the heroic ideal of masculinity and the true reality of being male

Guest curator Brian Clamp’s preview of Burke’s exhibition at ClampArt.

The intertidal zone is the ground that is exposed to air at low tide and is under water at high tide. It is an intermediated place where opposites commingle and coexist. Jesse Burke’s series ‘Intertidal’ addresses the ambivalent domain between the heroic ideal of masculinity and the true reality of being male. Through the juxtaposition of photographs, Burke constructs an autobiographical investigation of the incongruousness of the fragility of masculinity.
