te miro a los ojos mientras voy sanando lo que me dañaron

Scheduled in Block 5

Synopsis:

Within the privacy of a bed, in front of a bashful body, a voice tells of the disconnection of a woman with her own sensuality, due to the mistreatment she experienced and that all had the same root: male domination. This video self-portrait is about how the patriarchal system enters our beds, our hearts, the depths of our personal lives. It enters into everyday life and comes to touch our bodies and lives since we are children and leaves marks, less or more profound, depending on the history of each one.

In the form of a video-poem, it is an intimate and personal project while it comes to dealing with feelings common to many women, reaffirming the saying that the personal is political.

Director Bio:

Laurene Praget is a french visual artist living between Mexico and France since 2015. After years painting about violence against women in Mexico, she began to work in parallel with the medium of video to express the no damaged femininity, inside contemporary issues, in an intimate and personal movment, using directly her own body. Her main concerns are the damaged body in its intimity, the necessity to heal, the claim of a personal identity and the reappropriation of our body, as women.
