From the Archives: Bearded Superman Chats In Bed

Copyright Cesar Torres (2020)

In this archival ASMR video from 2020, Cesar Torres steps into the role of Superman, but this time, Superman’s got a shaved head, and he helps the viewer achieve a relaxed, cozy state of mind. Perfect to play in the background before going to sleep. This ASMR performance blends superhero mythology, queer intimacy, and sonic storytelling to reimagine the dynamic between hero and viewer.

Revived here as part of the ASMS Archives, it highlights the ways Torres’ early character studies of power and transformation would later evolve into the How to Kill a Superhero novels and photo art.
