Two projectors, suspended transparent sheets

#categories #rationalization #labels #identity #hashtag #abstraction

A non-material poetic abstraction that destroy the rationality of categorizing human identity.

Categories are only in our minds, but, in the reality, boundaries don’t exist. The starting point of this work is the concept of the hashtag on Instagram and how they impose pre-packaged standards on us, as human beings.

#female and #male are the two hashtags that my work analyzes going through all its stereotypes. Two categories whose differences are only cultural inventions. Each projection represents a label. By blending them, all the boundaries between them are broken, creating fluid and indefinite images, like a human is inside.

This work goes beyond the lyricism of the word, making sensibility capable of more subtle and more open-minded perceptions through a contemplative observation.
