—————-
Leandra Atenea Levine Hidalgo is an Argentinian performance artist, actress, sex worker and public figure. She was on the cover of MarieClaire and many Argentinian magazines, was interviewed on every Argentinian TV channel about trans rights, and toured Croatia with a theater play, filling the National Theater. The installation is a remake of one of her earliest works, when going through the first steps of her gender transition. It consists of a transparent box that represents the isolated but extremely visible place that trans people are put into. The only communication between the spectator and the isolated is through a small opening with a basket of roses in front. When people think they are giving her roses as a compliment, they really are hurting her with the spines, further isolating her from the world. Spines make her hands bleed, empty compliments don’t really help the trans community to be included. The only way she finds relief is by using the blood to paint a canvas that says “Free”, to try to escape the box. But the only place she can find is the street, where Free takes on another significance, and the only inclusion she can find is in the cars that pass by.
