Gloves On
investigates the intricacies of courage, masculinity and honour, ritual and spectatorship. In front of a fairground style façade a barker whips up the crowd, and introduces his fighters for the evening’s spectacle. The audience are invited to take the side of the champion or challenger as the boxers display their pugilistic prowess.
