Mary, teach me to love!

2019
performance, photography 

A (re)interpretation of the Madonna-Whore Complex shines a light on the paradoxical ways these two archetypes complement one another to exercise control over marginalized bodies. A virgin faces the tragedy of undergoing the journey of becoming a whore. Losing grip on her pedestal, surrounded by flowers, fruits, and other riches, she dwells upon challenges presented by gender roles, institutionalized forms of control, power dynamics, the environmental crisis, feminine and queer bodies, ecosexuality, and tenderness as a radical form of healing and reclaiming space. 

Private viewing -  2019 / Mexico City, Mexico
