The creation examines representations from the classical era as well as from today, decomposes and recomposes them into new imagery. It is inspired by Judith Butler's performative theory according to which gender is a display, namely that it is a kind of action that people perform out of a deeply rooted cultural habits. The creation calls for an individual action defying convention, breaking rules and allowing for a new visit in the body.
