Man Haircut was a performance I did where, in wanting to get the full

experience of a barbershop, I set up an appointment and asked a

barber to give me a “man haircut” with no further details or

instructions. This would mean that the barber would have to define

“man” and “man haircut” – the results being on my head. He ended

up giving me his own haircut. This means he marked my appearance

with his own specific version of maleness that I could then own and

alter myself. This is the storybook version of that performance.
