Fotografias com intervenções
Cortesia da artista
Alejandra Dorado performs an intervention displaying Coyote, a collage series of digital photographs that expose the family portrait in19th century. It shows weddings, baptisms, and other photos displaying memorable moments for the family. The normality of the representations that control our social relations is ruptured when the artist replaces people’s faces by heads of dogs, giraffes, and deer. “Coyote” is the word used to name a mixed-race person, one who is born from the union between an Indian and a mestizo, a double mestizo. By working on images from other times and imaginaries, and by blending them with animals, Dorado creates a “coyote” work. Children, family group, friends, they all become an only human-animal group. Through her work, bringing together human and non-human, she proposes a new interpretation of feminism issues. The artist addresses the feminism linked to debates about the Anthropocene and to the (destructive) domain of the human species, which dismantles the planet life given its position of supremacy.
