HOW TO BE A BODY (2020)
On March 20, 2020, social, preventive and mandatory isolation began in Argentina due to the covid 19 virus. The quarantine ended on November 8 of that same year, a total of 234 days of confinement. It is during this context that the emotions and actions that make up the work as Being Body arise.
When it all began, the uncertainty and news that came from abroad was exasperating and generated a lot of anguish. In the framework of this context and with what was happening to me internally, I decided for the first time to show my naked body before a camera. Until that moment I had been working with dancers and performers, given the situation I had to be my own performer, the feeling that I had when facing this challenge was of liberation, of dispossession and for a moment the thought that the world was ending disappeared.
When I began to self-portrait, I found a way to overturn my inner world and expel the feeling that I had years ago of being trapped in my own body. A body that until now had remained behind the camera became a present, visible body.
Some of the questions that arose at the time of putting my body during the taking of the photographs were: How to be a body? How does my body inhabit an image? Can my body reflect what I feel? The feelings I had during the first days of quarantine I see reflected in these images.
