Ready, Set, Neck Out.Derived from childhood fantasies Eric Anthony Berdis’ work explores the metamorphosis of a becoming a Country Gay to a City Queer. Set among plush objects and phallic faux-fur sculptures, Berdis transforms into a nonviolent homophobia fighting superhero. Their performance “Neck Out,” seeks to simulate the jarring experience of being stereotyped while simultaneously examining the ways we navigate towards and create safe spaces. Eric Anthony Berdis is visual artist and curator, who’s work explores masculinity, narrative, and subversion through live and video performance. Originally from Erie, Pennsylvania, Berdis received their BFA from Slippery Rock University in 2013, and is currently a member of the artist collective Little Berlin in Philadelphia.
