NEW WORK ON BEEOFF!!!

MAN HUNT
An investigation and construction of  The Real Man.

by Rosan Bosch and Gunilla Leander
16.4 - 18.5 2003

What is a real Man?
By collecting and investigating prejudices about the real man we have
constructed a person. The stereotype of The Real Man.

The Real Man is alive on Beeoff for 30 days and is constructed by sounds
only. . The website houses a library of male sounds connected to
prejudices of how a real man sounds.  A computer program puts the sounds
together at random and creates the life of The Real Man.

Everybody can contribute prejudices about The Real Man on the website.
Slowly the prejudices together with the sounds will draw a picture of a
person. The generalizing prejudices are transformed into an individual.
A person. The Real Man.

Prejudices of what a real man is are part of all of us. The Real Man is
a ghost alive amongst all of us. MAN HUNT brings our ghost up to the
surface, out of the closet and into the daylight. Meet The Real Man.
