Produktbeschreibung
Quem tem medo das Ginas is a learning exercise. The first part of the work presents the author's artistic journey, the second is a productive encounter of her searches. In this new moment, the artist of the paintbrushes launches herself a challenge: to script a video that problematizes gender identity. It is a narrative that fluctuates between the "real" and the oneiric of two women. Regina is black, anorexic, works as a model. Gina is white, has a penis and sells her body on the sex market. In the recesses of their minds there is a persecuting man who is about to find them, and it is necessary to sweeten him up so that they can free themselves and he can too. They are the result of performative discourses where colours, shapes, work, school and family roles offer a menu of two models: woman and man. There is, however, the border zone where bodies of one sex subvert the order and take the opposite sex as a model. The purpose is precisely to demythologize what is supposedly "natural" and raise awareness about the "real" world. The work proposes to show the world through subversion and to assure that the place of heterosexuality is nothing but a kind of blindness, capable of producing violence.
