📸 #GreifEvents: Scholarship Spotlight! Say hello to Inès Riber (
@inesriber ), recipient of one of our €1,000 Artist Scholarships and a new voice in our upcoming “Pictures on a Journey” installation in Munich.
Inès’ 2025 series “Pleasure Boys” slips backstage with a Birmingham male‑striptease troupe to probe masculinity in motion. Through charged portraits and rehearsal snapshots, she balances rippling six‑packs against lingering eye contact, asking:
👉 What happens when the male body is the spectacle, yet still holds the power?
👉 Can raw vulnerability survive beneath choreographed bravado?
👉 Where exactly does intimacy sit when desire is a ticketed performance?
Shot in the neon sweat of club light, each frame flips the gaze: hyper‑masculine archetypes (firefighter, businessman, cop) flex into moments of tenderness, exposing the very fault lines they aim to conceal.
Catch Inès’ postcard alongside 49 other Strange Homeland and Encounters motifs by artists selected from our open call at “Pictures on a Journey” during
