"Now that the lockdown, if not over, has eased somewhat, I wonder if men have changed. And I don’t simply mean their clothes. I focus on men because the subject of Adamo Macri’s magnificent 01.08.21 seems to be maleness, or what we perceive as traditional attributes of the male, or the myth of masculinity. Not just the socially constructed image of maleness, but maleness in social crisis, male breaking down or keeping himself from falling over the edge. I promise not to use the too-often repeated and reductive term, toxic masculinity.”
