"Harder better faster stronger – are men OK?", which opens on October 3, explores the controversial topic of masculinity from different angles.

Artist and director Sam Taylor-Johnson's series "Crying Men" depicts actors such as Robin Williams, Kris Kristofferson and Chiwetel Ejiofor in tears. Johan Bävman's acclaimed photo series "Swedish Dads" shows Swedish fathers on parental leave, while Herb Ritts' photos of Richard Gere and Matthew McConaughey provide an idealized image of the male body as an object of the viewer's desire.

Ashley Markle's wrestlers are portrayed in vulnerable situations, adding further dimension.
