I focus my work on the study of the journey as a migration of identity and social roles. I am interested in intimate and social aspects of this “forced nomadism”, from the construction of the person, to the hot borders and spaces of exclusion. I focus on the female figure, and especially on those women whose story does not exist. I started this project in Reno, United States, ten years ago with pictures of Hispanic women whose work as strippers has given them a status “ Golden West “ I followed in Madrid with Arab dancers“ Siwa “. In “ Raval-Berlin I followed some soulfron Enterteiment from Barcelona to Berlin, Eastern Europe.
I relate the action of dancing with a deeper movement, a displacement and a downgrading, theintimate migration of woman. In other cultures there are always more women than men that migrate, but Arab women are the emigrant emigrants, vida nuda with a lack of content, due to violence.
If in the past I have worked in photography( 2003-2013) as a place of contradiction between dance and dynamic portrait, In the last two years( 2013-14) I focused on the destruction of the identity of the carnivalesque dance to what music and motion made me create a new piece on Video. This project would close the circle of a work dedicated tob women in the strong patriarchal cultures of the border.
