“Torn” By Torben Loth

A visual exploration of the expectations of manhood and the internal fight and dialogue with the self, embodied by the three protagonists. While each of them fights for dominance they simultaneously expose their weaknesses, tearing each other down, lifting each other up and struggling to find support in moments of fading strength. Eventually they will try to break free from the constant struggle just to be torn back again into this vicious cycle.
