More info ►► Agora Residency Cuerpas

This talk explores in-depth Shapiro’s series called #Cuerpas, a poignant visual exploration of the self, the female body and empowerment of identity that can arise when a woman goes on the other side of the camera.

Starting last December at The Liminal gallery in Valencia, Spain; Cuerpas is an investigation of identity, ageism and body-representation. These works include repeated encounters mixing multi-media including self-portrait collages, videos, projections and performance elements.

In contrast to the male gaze, for Emma Shapiro, the act of filming is a physical work in which one is both seeing and being seen. Her performance works emphasise torment, discomfort, vulnerability and exposure as a constant search to create a new language that would differ, in a more nuanced manner, from those of our fathers or lovers.
