This piece addresses the issue of identity through language, sexuality and photographic representation. The social Self is represented through Spanish and American documents shaped as clothes that resemble paper-doll cutouts. The soundtrack is activated by the audience through a motion detector and consists of a bilingual tape with readings and thoughts from personal notebooks and academic forms.
Multiple media: b/w life size photograph, litho film, steel coat hangers, lipstick, black pigment, graphite, rope, soundtrack, motion detector.
Dimensions: variable, room size.
