Afterwards, I will return…

Afterwards, I will return everything… except the nails

Video performance and performance Influxus II. Performance and Video creation Meeting. Vostell Museum Malpartida. Cáceres, March 2009.

This work consists of two related parts.

First of all, I record a video showing the process of the esthetical transformation I undergo becoming a totally different kind of women I am.

Somehow, I cross-dressing, helped by a stylist who dresses me, does my make-up, combs my hair (a blonde wig).

While this video performance is being shown, in the last seconds I appear dressed in the same way as in the video, and once finished, I start to take off all the clothes, makeup and accessories, being back to my original appearance.

The only thing that I am not able to take off is my nails, as they were glued with special glue…

Thanks to Fran Inshow Creativos for his work.
