TOYBOYS were known to be a free-speaking male duo addressing what is different and deviant. They aimed to project a floating identity and wished to turn their backs on constructed, narrow frameworks, and on gender prejudice. Their performances were based on a mixture of humor and gravity, challenging the limits of normal behavior. As gay artists, it was important for them to present art that revolved around the term queer. They wished to broaden the understanding of identity through focusing on the acceptance of several parallel gender categories. These themes were focal points and trademarks of all TOYBOYS' works.
