In my research about representation in society and sexuality, a large part of my focus has been on the obsessive focus of society on the black penis.

I have been studying the history, mythology and stereotyping of black male sexuality and sexual charaterization in relationship to black men’s position in society in the US and elsewhere.

One easy project in this area is Untitled #48543: NEOGOLD, about the value in gold of the black member i.e. the BBC.

What if you were to translate the world wide and incessant stereotyping, exotification, lust, denigration, violence, fear, of the black penis, into it’s weight in gold, what would it look like?

The images here were part of a “mandingo” microsite, where I collected all types of related contents and material, including found materials, altered/self created images/texts/media, and related historical material about the terminology and context of the “mandingo BBC” phenomenom.
