The Morphing Men is a transformative project led by Martin Levinne, who acts as director, photographer, and storyteller. In the spotlight is Barry Morse, a talented queer artist based in Los Angeles, as he embodies various iconic personas, revealing the psychological complexities behind these transformations. It reveals that the desire to be someone else arises from a deeper longing to become one’s true self. At the same time, the project serves as a compelling reflection on American culture’s obsession with celebrity culture, illustrating how we create these icons with adoration and mass psychosis, only to later destroy them through tabloids or assassinations. As Levinne stated, “We often hate what we can no longer love, leading us to destroy what we once created.”
