BODY COPY is a photo-text series by artist Mitchell Moreno (they/them) exploring the performance of queer masculinities in digital culture. Moreno began the project by collecting, archiving and reworking material drawn from online dating and hook-up platforms used by gay and queer men—personal profiles, fragments of conversation, requests, descriptions of bodies and desires—setting them against carefully constructed images of the male form. The book examines how online culture has shaped the language with which men describe themselves and one another, how desire is filtered through the templates of social and dating apps, and how the body is rewritten as a series of measurable categories: height, weight, role, position, ethnicity. Moreno's images and texts together examine vulnerability and bravado, intimacy and anonymity, the public face of self-presentation and the private exchanges that take place behind screens. Drawing on the artist's own experience as a queer maker working between London and the US, BODY COPY is a meditation on the way contemporary masculinity is composed and consumed in the age of the smartphone.
