“But Call Me Lolita”: The Poetics of the Pose
Consuelo Press, María José García Piaggio, Alejandra Morote Peralta, Diana Moncada, Alejandra Borea
The pose as a way of appearing, resisting, and contesting the gaze.
The exhibition considers the pose not only as a visual gesture, but as a way of appearing, resisting, and contesting the gaze. Through photography, the body, archives, sound, performance, and writing, it raises questions about representation, desire, memory, and the image.
But Call Me Lolita connects Lima, Berlin, and Mexico City through a multilayered reflection on the archive, the body, the image, femininity, and the gaze.
