Truong Tran has cut more than 10,000 butterflies from photographs of naked white men, a practice that began as a protest of Damien Hirst's installation that killed 9,000 butterflies. Asked by a white man why he won't cut into images of Black and Brown men, he says what he wishes he'd answered: that his violence is metaphor, and the real violence endured by Black and Brown bodies has no such luxury.
