Tituba, from Taboao da Serra/ 2017

This work is a depiction of an old colonized soul, trying to fit in a "new" world. Feminism: is this the modern denomination for witchcraft in the current world order? Can she combine her old beliefs and practices with the modernity around her? Is she really free to unleash her vengeance, or is she again just one more victim of another colonized system?

Super Vixen and The The's/ 2017

Photography, Collage, Illustration. This work surrealistically highlights how body positivity looks like for queer-trans-nonbinray bodies in my view: as a super transcendental powerful asset.

Divine Body Debts /2016

Digital Collage, Photography This work - that i consider the most biographical of my artworks - deals with my own memories and recognitions of how i constructed my notions of gender, divinity, identity, race and family.

Know Thyself. but not too much /2016

Long Durational Performance An invitation to the public to trust and get up close and personal with two deities from another space and time, two all-knowingly ignorant postmodern oracle sorceresses defying the laws of communication with the divine. Through masterfully executed rituals with sweat, laughter, tears and other holy liquids or devices, the two priestesses will provide answers to anyone who dares to step in front of their gaze.

Heart Heart Lap Dance /2015

Heart Heart Lap Dance /2015

One-to-one Long Durational Dance Performance The Performance was created to question active relations between the artist, the art space and the art consumer when sexuality is in frame. Another aim is also to question if the value of each lap dance can be payed with any other "coin" than the monetary one. The "client" can choose to read a passage of a book for the performer, have some tea and enjoy the rest of the session as a payment for the lap dance. [click on the image to open link]
