The Study on Post-Pubescent Manhood is a collection of images taken by American photographer Stacy Kranitz in 2013. It looks at how subculture self-consciously dramatizes violence through daily rituals, habits, and pastimes, thereby implicating the photographer and viewer as consumers of that violence. These images were taken at a dystopian compound in the Southern Ohio Appalachian region of the United States.
"I have focused my gaze on a group of young men that I befriended at a dystopian compound in Ohio. I went there searching for displays of violence that function as catharsis so I could validate behavior that might at first glance seem destructive, dissolute, or anti-social."
