Isabel Allegro de Magalhães - Corpo a Nu

Body to the Nude maintains my conviction that humanity exists in two bodies and two matrix-subjectivities, which – naturally or artificially – give rise to diverse modalities of existence and of living one's own sexuality. Within this framework, it points to the origin of the traditional characterizing traits of masculinity and femininity, analyzing the current terminologies used to designate sexual difference and equality, and their contents.

Above all, it questions the new possibilities of life brought to humanity by the advancement of cybernetics, quantum computing, genetic engineering, biotechnologies, and synthetic biology, ultimately considering the hypothesis that human animals may cease to be so, passing to a stage considered post-human, suggesting that perhaps the feminine layer on Earth has something new to offer.
