White Baby (1992)
A pedagogical and manifesto-like work based on documentation of the artist's Crawl series. In these performances, which he began in 1978, he inched along city streets, embodying different characters—an office worker, Superman—laid low on the ground. Through this horizontal position, he highlighted both the hypervisibility and the degradation of the Black male body, a figure that remains abject and precarious in a racist America.
