Autofobia Trailer (2009)

01 January 2009 1 mins

The artist's shadow becomes the target of a violent act directed against the self, staged using a 9mm pistol. Regina José Galindo confronts the expression "to fear even one's own shadow", a metaphor for constant exposure to danger and the need for self-defense that permeates female experience, in Guatemala and beyond. The gesture condenses into an image of striking intensity, almost a cinematic flash, whose immediacy conveys the sense of a threat that is always present.
