The video ‘Like a Record Baby’ is part of a project called ‘Daddy, I am Man’ which explores fantasies of masculinity, experimenting with ideas of reflection and seduction, and the vulgarity and innocence of masculine performative images and expressions. Through characters and role-play the artists explore aspects of masculinity that they find alluring, repugnant, decadent, problematic, and ones with which they hold close and readily identify within their own fantasies of masculinity.

Anna-Maria Pinaka is an artist and theorist focusing on the use of life material in art, and the relationship between sex, sexuality and image making, selfhood, auto-ethnography and performativity. Using the self as a source of performance, she creates a visual language that borrows from the rhetorics of pornography, but which relates also to the domestic realm, the mundane, banal and lived ordinary.
