Chez Negrete

Pantone Blue Drag

My work stands for a permanent idea: the unconscious and constant search of my generation’s identity through the shapes of individual and social gendered expressions. I interpret this through the photographic portraits as a rhetorical mirror of what I observe. This project aims to explore the aesthetics of the transformation process inherent to the artistic expression of Drag. Narrowing it down to a pantone as a metaphor in which the slightest difference of color makes reference to a unique code, which just like the diversity, is not binary.
