Physical activity is a principal theme in Change Room, Waters’ installation at The Container. Using the Greek gymnasium as a historic reference for physical and mental advancement, Waters investigates the disconnection between the physical / biological limitations of the body and the psychological and intellectual properties of humans, in particular the male body and ideas of masculinity – its aesthetics, its function, and its social standing.
