EZRA MILLER:
In general I tend to be rather critical, sour and even nihilistic (or at least I have thought so at times). So to select a particular Current Issue has been rather hard, since thinking out of the box doesn't ever come as easy as pie.
From all the many current situations that are of my interest at the moment, I decided to pick up on one that is not entirely depressing and which may not straightforwardly provoke indignation so I decided to comment on this news I heard about a Hollywood spotlight male Celebrity who has recently performed a photo-shoot for Playboy.
To be honest I hadn't heard of such actor until today, and I had even overlooked the work claiming that frivolous pieces were the only thing that could come out of a playboy photo-shoot. However, due to this post, I started going deeper on the matter and I found out that the actor leads one of the new Harry Potter Film Series Motion picture's, and it blew my mind!. I found out how pop he was and therefore I have just started visuluazing the scope of such actions.
Beyond the aesthetical view I uphold from the pictures, or even beyond my opinion regarding the overall discourse portrayed in these actions, I believe the importance of this performatic event relies on that the pictures contest the image of someone widely related to a western-pop-culture, conservative-like, super star-character and makes the followers reflect over and wonder about the construction of male-gender, and from a point of view, these pictures, furthermore, install in the widespread global-pop-western culture, gender-construction-reflections that are (to me), necessary to sustain and to stimulate in order to deepen in our current society and be able to produce, trigger or behold transformation within our life time.
I believe these actions, when performed by characters which embody the most conservative values of western society and are openly displayed for everybody to see/have an opinion about, disregarding how against traditional values this may be, it is for me a liberating artistic act, because it stimulates future visions and opens up new dimensions for the new generations to explore. At least these actions could not be seen openly when I was 20 something!.
All in all, Ezra Miller's Drag-Queen Performatic Playboy Photo-shoot has resulted to be an act widely commented on the social media I participate of and because of him being such a celebrity, the visibilization of the queer discourse and the questioning of the construction of masculinities, I believe this piece of news is something worthy of mention and exhibition.

ReplyDeleteI don't know much about his work but without a doubt that what he did will generate a change. He has a great talent and has been able to impact not only with the movies.
It´s interesting the perfomance a foto-shoot in Playboy because calls into question the concept of masculinid in the world of the entertainment.
ReplyDeleteYep!, it is hard to imagine photoshoots like this 10 or maybe 5 years ago, it's very rare for a magazine like playboy being that open minded and allowing to portrait a male figure in the mag (the times has changed), it is good that people in the spotlight like Ezra Miller putting topics like this on the table.
ReplyDeleteI haven't really following Playboy very much, but i think that i'ts really avant-garde for this magazine, even if it's for getting more "open minded" as an enterprise. It's also a great photoshoot.
ReplyDeleteI like how Ezra Miller's becoming a new pop star and his photos makes think about the construction of masculinities
ReplyDeleteI didn't heard about Ezra Miller until now and I'm impressed of the way that he is helping the queer´s discourse to viralizate it and make it stronger.
ReplyDeleteis very interesting how Miller insert the discussion of gender in one magazine that historically have reproduced an heteronormative speach

ReplyDeleteNo doubt this will generate a very important change, I hope this equates things
