The characters will appear at the Royal College of Art‘s new Gender & Performance exhibition, which explores issues around gender. 

Artist Franko B, perhaps best-known for performance pieces using his own blood, is exhibiting an oversized gold swing called I’m Thinking of You.

The installation comes to life from 2pm on 24 February, when a series of naked volunteers will take turns on the swing. 

Other exhibits include beautifully shot photographs by Ralf Obgerfell of the elaborate characters that frequent London’s nocturnal club scene.

And Oreet Ashery‘s fascinating video, Dancing with Men, where the female artist is seen participating, dressed as a man, in a male-only religious festival.

London’s art scene may sometimes be controversial, but it’s certainly never dull!

Gender & Performance is at the Royal College of Art until 25 February. Admission is free.
