"Photography
and videos", Cris Bierrenbach (Brazil, 1965)
.
Bierrenbach hybridized practice ranges from video, photography andperformance.
It enables her to carry out actions in an attempt to recreate images
of her own body as a means for provoking questions about specific
subjects: belonging, private, public and identity. It alludes to the
fact that being a foreigner is not a condition that occurs only in
the presence of a different culture, but also within the one's own
culture, amongst individuals and within oneself.
| | | She critically cuts through the idealized and stereotyped mythology of the abstracted and inventedfeminine self in the Brazilian economic market and culture.In this context, the body, as anywhere in the world, is rapidly mutating: plastic surgery, tattooing, diets, piercing, all the way out to the changing of the color of skin, the lengthening of limbs and genetic manipulations. Therefore, it requires a new registration: an identity in transit. | |
