These images were originally photographed by J.J. McCracken, Jon Malis, Louise Wolthers and Mikhail Bezruchko during the live performance "Deferral", a live performance and installation at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington DC in 2013. The images have been edited, cropped and re-presented to focus on the hands of the gay men who are piercing, pulling, caressing and reforming their heroes.
