About me
My mixed background of Science, Philosophy and the Arts has offered me a vast viewpoint which allows me to fluidly navigate life. Interested in curating negative connotations, as well as inner and outer space(s). I strive to do so through organizing, communicating or creating the things I am most passionate about: art, ecology, philosophy and social issues.

    Reconstructing gender and desire | All the mean things you told me will be forever online A mixed media three-part study on the reconstruction of gender and desire. MALEGAZE //THE UBIQUITOUS VOYEUR When and how was the first time you felt the male gaze intruding your experience, and its complete take over? Becoming a ubiquitous voyeur, especially in the digital era. INTERNALISING //BECOMING YOUR OWN VOYEUR So then the external male gaze gradually becomes a ubiquitous voyeur, instantly approachable through our laptops, smartphones and screens, leading the subjects to adhere their every move to the exact conforming and validating process they were initially conditioned to.This immediate reflection of the whole process of curating your self-image, according to the male gaze or even in complete disobedience to the male gaze, creates a voyeur inside your own mind. IN SEARCH OF THE DESIRE // PLEASURE Therefore the construction of our desires can easily be linked to the constructs of gender both in a psychoanalytic and sociologic way. Your desires are not your own, being that you were a subject that created its identity inside a gender-binary world. The knowledge of this is not as freeing as one would expect. Because having had this knowledge how can you get the pleasure a desire is supposed to offer? And ultimately how is it possible, if at all, to reconstruct them? To this last problematic we will seek the answer beyond these binary constructed conceptions of gender identity and desires, where according to Donna Haraway lies the Cyborg.
