Cult of Boys — Androgyny, Intimacy, Icon

This photobook by Toyin Ibidapo, Cult of Boys , published by teNeues in 2011, is part of the Darwin Bookshop because it distills a particular vision of masculinity rarely seen in contemporary portraiture — intimate, androgynous, and unguarded. Ibidapo’s lens focuses on a generation of boys not yet hardened by performance. Many are musicians, artists, drifters, dressed in eyeliner or nothing at all, their gaze fixed somewhere between seduction and fragility.
