| | Note de contenu : | This project began six years ago when I started photographing my culture in the isthmus of Oaxaca, where I came from. I started documenting the daily life of muxes, attending their festivities, understanding their world, which led me to create a special relationship with them. Over the time, I went deeper into the muxe subject and it became part of my life and personal project.
The project became more and more a form of an introspective process, in which questions about my own identity intertwined with the images and experiences of the photographic sessions with the muxes. I began to develop a relationship of admiration and desire for the muxes. In each session, disturbing emotions began to emerge in myself. The images seemed to be born of deep emotional drives, and at the same time those images awoke feelings in a way that my own identity was in play.
More and more, the muxe series has become a mixture between a desire to merge to be one of them, to enjoy the same untimely and transgressive freedom, and the crush with her exaggerated notion of their feminine side, the tension between desire and rejection among them, but also to myself and my own sexual and cultural identity.
The muxes are part of me and my culture. They are beautiful and terrible; dual beings who, rather than defining themselves as homosexuals, have transcended the idea of gender to assume a totally new identity in a constant search for a notion of beauty. Two genres into one body.
During this journey my work has traveled through many aspects. The muxe has become a central project, covering different dimensions and moments of my life.
Gradually I have developed a free and specific aesthetic imagery, with a challenging attitude, and disquieting characters. I realized that I was finding something very special, and that made me feel happy. That has satisfied me, and until now, I have not been able to stop doing this project. | | Permalink : | http://pmb.ensp-arles.fr/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=21597 |
