Ion Grigorescu’s 8 mm film “Male/Female” stands out as a unique work of male body art from Romania in the 1970s. In this black-and-white film, the artist uses his own body as a site to be visually explored from various angles and in various poses. With the occasional help of a mirror, different parts of the body are doubled in order to create disrupted postures. The slow pans of the camera thoroughly scan Grigorescu’s body and his face, which grimaces in various ways with the help of the artist’s hands. Though not from a gay background, Grigorescu nonetheless defies traditional roles ascribed to the male and female body, questioning and/or rejecting hegemonic notions of power.
