ONLINE: Sala10: Javier Ocampo
In this videoclip, Javier Ocampo combines allusions to Mesoamerica鈥檚 precolumbian past with references to contemporary mass culture in a kitsch/neobaroque delirium that transgresses the hegemony of heteronormative identity. The artist, in iguana and xoloitzcuintle drag, uses his body as a vehicle to mock and disarm racist regimes. To the rhythm of queer electro-reggaeton, this piece raises the possibility of dancing to decolonize your ass. The song deploys lyrics that celebrate difference and resignify homophobic and pigmentocratic insults in search of a new reality that transforms wounds and resentment into celebration and empowerment.
