Toronto: Vtape, 2011
Rodney Werden's work takes interest in power dynamics, sexuality and the economy of desire. His work presents personal stories that challenge masculinity and the definition of normality. This essay, written and curated by Alvis Choi, ties Werden's work together by the idea of "character" going beyond fiction through the use of alter-egos, documentary participants and fictional characters.
