Crossed Bodies (2020)

Crossed Bodies brings together some of the latest works by the artist Tales Frey, through which there is the exploration of the body as a central element in the conceptions.

Through clothes on bodies, the artist analyzes existing codes between the individual and the object, proposing new versions and subversions under the desire to offer critical and political positioning to those who access the content of each of their aesthetic propositions.

Bodies and garments taken by male or female and cisheteronormative social codes are mixed and, thus, present hybrid materializations. Although there is a certain standardization of bodies, we can understand their differentiation through their camouflaged gestures and physicalities and, in this way, we can intuit how unstable and unrepeatable each interiority presented.
