Abstract

Lariza Hatrick’s photographic itinerary is filled with dissident sexual identities. However, the Argentinian artist shows little concern in displaying, regaining, and demanding recognition for the identities she portrays. Far from putting her artistic production at the disposal of identity politics aiming to achieve recognition of heterosexual norm, Hatrick captures compositions that confront us with everything that overflows identity 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. She spots an opportunity to interrupt the ruling political order and its violence. This paper offer pictures of damaged and disposed objects. The unspeakable, disturbing echoes flowing there are understood in the light of Julia Kristeva’s contributions.
