Hello! Today I will be publishing the second part of this Photo Challenge: Protect the (self) image in any circumstance. Regarding the confinement that is experienced worldwide and worrying creative stagnation for some people, the proposal of my friend and also participant Andrés Pérez arises, to create from our homes, along with other incredible Venezuelan artists and my generation who work the image of different ways.
From 5 premises: A self-portrait of the self-portrait; An opposite; A permanent time; Something that nobody sees; and The story of death. Mainly publishing in our instagram accounts, exploring and publicizing our introspection until we reach the image. The statement of this occasion indicates:
"An opposite: All things have an opposition. Light-shadow | wet-dry | weak-strong | outside-in | up-down | doubt-certainty. This is how our environment is made up, we are surrounded by oppositions and these create the uncertainty of the decision. It represents the confrontation between two opposite things and solves the enigma. "
"Un opuesto: Todas las cosas tienen una oposición. Luz-sombra | húmedo-seco | débil-fuerte | afuera-adentro | arriba-abajo | duda-certeza. Es así como se compone nuestro entorno, estamos rodeados de oposiciones y estas crean la incertidumbre de la decisión. Representa el enfrentamiento entre dos cosas opuestas y resuelve el enigma."
Through the dress codes (commonly feminine) I portray myself in my room. Is identity limited to gender-related clothing? For what reason according to heteronormativity should we identify ourselves and pose ourselves as radical and opposite expressions regarding the manifestation of binary gender? Why not subvert and perhaps integrate elements foreign to us? and in this way we do not limit ourselves in our exploration, without limits in our curiosity, express a broader and deeper identity language ...
