Everything is Real: After Life...

Shine Shivan\'s works are semi-autobiographical excavations of the nature of masculinity.In Second Hand Pepe, an assemblage of found and used elements, Shivan speaks of the way socialized human beings invent versions of the self- their identities, thoughts and sexualities. Thereby he suggests the instability of gender, implying that it can always be subverted or queered by practices such as drag and cross-dressing.
