To End the First Half of The Year with H.A.M

I conceived this idea in 2005, this will be the first time ever I am showcasing this in such a big space with collaborators. I am not sure if this is going to work, but I love jumping into a lake of fire and dwell in it for a while. I can only say its experimental and semi-autobiographical.



The Elegy of A Man and His Weapon of Choice: The Hyperbolic Alpha Male
72-13, 72-13 Mohamed Sultan Road, S239007
24.05.07 Thu 08.00pm till 25.05.07

By Rizman Putra, a Crea tive-in-Residence of 72-13 SCAN in collaboration with Zulkifle Mahmod and Robert Guth.

This multi-disciplinary presentation is an exploration of masculinity, self-identity and the political issues surrounding them; it investigates the hypothesis of a man's journey into his ego.

Working with collaborating artists, Robert Guth and Zulkifle Mahmod, Rizman 's H.A.M, consists of installation, video projection, sound exploration, voice and movement. This is a work-in-progress.

"..... in the context of the Hyperbolic Alpha Male series, the body acts as a depiction. The burlesque act of performance is not a degradation but rather serves to question the role of men in social strata. My intention is to interlace the perception of an alpha male with a range of foolishness as a form of discontent. "
- Rizman Putra, a President's Young Talent, 2005
