If I can't have love I want power

The project is a video essay and triptych, a documentation of a performance that examines the issue of transitional identity and the body as an open code and questions the need to exile oneself into a certain identification cage. The artist is looking for a way to talk about her absent national body as a consequence of colonization and failures in historical memory, and about her decolonization.
If national and gender identification is a kind of political agency that determines the legitimacy of the existence of a subject in a particular country, where love is interpreted through the prism of the ideology of traditional values ​​and an appeal to imperial pride, then to what extent can an identity that relates only to oppression be legitimate in it? stigmatization and oblivion of the identity of her ancestors, her body and the bodies of her loved ones? What might it mean to exist in alienation and have no fixed identity?
The artist creates a performative image of a monstrous political non-body and considers identity as a concept of an unrecorded assemblage that includes flesh and technogenicity, socio-cultural relations and historical memory. The project hypothesizes that political existence in the skin of a monstrous non-body can become a position of power because it is located outside of binary heteropatriarchal structures.
The artist seeks to reveal this idea of ​​transitional identity by resorting to perforative bodily practices and choreography that explore the body as an assemblage, beyond the fixed gender and human framework - through movement and post-corporeal continuations - prosthetics, drag, non-human voices, lip sync.
The title of each chapter and monologue, respectively, is a reference to a poem by Latinx artist and performer Guillermo Gómez-Peña, which begins with the words “I would like to live as if Donald Trump did not exist.”
