Galatée à l'Infini

Sinopsi

Pigmalión, decepcionado de las mujeres de su tiempo, decide crear con sus propias manos una mujer inmaculada a la altura de sus expectativas y de su rango. La criatura satisfaría sus placeres y proveería mano de obra a su reino. Un ensayo visual, que trata de la construcción discursiva del cuerpo orgánico a través de la ginecología, que usa del bisturí ideológico para moldear géneros, deseos y sexualidades.

“For centuries, male-dominated pillars of education and science helped to establish institutionalized discrimination against women and to objectify their bodies. The winning all-female collective in this category directly challenges male notions of power through their innovative use of film language and archive material via a collage of scientific art historical imagery vs. current images from the sex industry.” – dokumentART
