MARTINEZ, Ariel. NEGATIVITY, COLLAPSE AND MESS IN LARIZA HATRICK'S QUEER PHOTOGRAPHIC PROPOSAL. A LOOK FROM JULIA KRISTEVA. Índex [online]. 2021, n.12, pp.195-210. ISSN 2477-9199.  https://doi.org/10.26807/cav.vi12.402.

Lariza Hatrick’s photographic itinerary is filled with dissident sexual identities. However, the Argentinian artist shows little concern in visibilizing, reclaiming and demanding recognition for the identities she portrays. Far from putting her artistic production at the disposal of a politics of identity aiming to attain the recognition of the heterosexual norm, Hatrick captures visual compositions that confront us with everything that overflows identitary borders and classifying taxonomic systems. Her images picture the presence of abjection and the radical negativity that every symbolic order tumbles over. Her pessimist aesthetic is interested in the collapse, wreckage and failure that surrounds existence. There, she spots an opportunity to interrupt the ruling political order and its violence. In this occasion, we offer pictures of damaged and disposed objects. The ineffable, disturbing reverberations flowing there are interpreted in the light of Julia Kristeva’s contributions.

Keywords : abjection; body; negativity; drive; photograph; Lariza Hatrick.
