When we speak of ‘real men’ we often mean the opposite: individuals who appear to live up to the impossibly idealised aspirations of symbolic masculine perfection. But Ilan Wittenberg’s photographs truly do present real men. His extensive photographic catalogue captures the complexity of uniqueness and imperfection, frailty and forbearance, anxiety and the courage to overcome it. These men are flesh and blood, diverse, and susceptible to the inevitabilities of illness and aging. As the title of the series declares, this is literally and figuratively the ‘Bare Truth’.
Ilan Wittenberg discusses the concept and creation of this series at Talking Pictures.
