Welcome to the Fuente Perversa (Perverse Source) by Aileen Gavonel and Diego Gualandris. A place of unspoken words, energies and images in tension.
Perversion is understood as an irreverent attitude towards the usual customs and order of things.
Perversion is an environment of resistance, of lucid awareness towards the mechanisms of the world’s disenchantment. Inhabited by distorted images that are only waiting to be transformed into matter in order to bite the identitary reality.
The perverse is everything that departs from the canons of law and that is why power demonizes it. It uses it to generate strategies of production of the different and the consequent criminalization.
Perversion, whether of the image or of the body, is the alterity and disorder of the state of the world. It acts in the cracks and opacity.
We claim the right to opacity, the need for everyone to be neither completely transparent nor assigned to incomprehensibility.
Opacity is the interstice, the threshold of understanding that is never concluded, the redemption of the obviousness of transparency and imposed dichotomies.
Opacity is the suspicion that allows us to imagine a body of rotting, transforming and untranslatable images.
