Diana Larrea - Gender Hierarchies
Artist Biography:
"Gender Hierarchies" is made with the FaceApp application, which is a photo editor with tools to modify selfies with changes in age, weight or gender. With this work the artist poses a discourse on the social construction of gender through the creation of new identities that move fluidly from femininity to masculinity, highlighting the subtle differences that are activated in our psychological process when we perceive an artist. It consists of 19 portraits of historical female painters to transform them into men through application, and had as clear references some feminist works of the 70's, such as "The King of Solana Beach" (1972- 1975) by Eleanor Antin or the series "Untitled (Facial Hair Transplants)" (1972) by Ana Mendieta, in which artists use facial hair as a symbol of social authority and the strength associated with masculinity in our patriarchal system. Just as she did with her video "An artist for every day" (2021), in which she edited 365 stories she had shared on Instagram for a year, in this new video she also makes use of a digital function of mobile devices to use it as an artistic medium. Just as it happened when the cinematograph was born, which was just a fairground attraction and it was the artists who with their creative work managed to turn it into art, also many digital media considered mundane today can be used as artistic disciplines. The music chosen (Music by Scott Buckley @musoscientific) evokes the soundtrack of a film in order to convey a kind of cinematic emotion that progresses in "crescendo" until the final culmination.
