The overflowing body

By Daniella de Moura

It is now recognized that art has the power to poeticize certain organic materials that are discarded from everyday life. It is within this opening that I insert my artistic practice, where my body performs fictions based on the humoral secretions that flow from my feminine, mixed-race, and colonized identity. Through rituals without myths, I break old Western taboos. I expose violence towards the body of the other with practices that mark the otherness of every being. At the crossroads of aesthetics, history, politics, psychoanalysis, and ethnography, I ask sensitive questions to create singular bodily works. I offer the humoral subjectivity of the body a cartography of the marginal desire to become a woman in a phallocentric society. This is an ambiguous utopia, because I see in the humoral and residual flesh of the uncastrated body the sensitive territory for the introduction of a new ethics of the body.
