Naele book and project
Naele arises from my need for constant change and to project my works on myself and my body, to be the work and the support of the work. Having an alter-ego gives you more security because you can use it to carry out actions, which in your own flesh would make you shy. I am a person who likes to play with his image and experiment with his appearance, the alter-ego allows me to make more changes. Like Cindy Sherman does with the characters that she creates for her images.
We will be able to see Naele made in blender, I made a representation quite faithful to the reality of my body. We see Naele in the infinite and unreal space of blender. I also have Naele in the networks, or creating an image of her from non-existent elements.
On the other hand, I wanted to show Naele in the real world, because although she does not exist or has a true identity document, she is someone who can be tangible, she is one more in the mass.
Seeing Naele's body represented with different media makes me think about the reality behind the screens and fiction. We constantly create or see images that appear to be real but have been created by someone on her computer. Every day it is more difficult to distinguish between reality and fiction. That is what happens with Naele, she can be seen in many ways and at the same time not exist.
Naele (video)
Almost two years ago (2021) I started my project "Naele" in wich I wanted to work around the figure of the alter ego. Starting with a blonde wig. At the end I realized that more than an alter ego it ended up being an approach to myself and a reflection. I have been creating several works since then an this (video essay) is the first one I wanted to show and that serves as an introduction.
