Beatriz Dias

Neon 80 outlines its labyrinth drawing inspiration from the notions of cyberpunk, cyberspace, cyborg body and video game. It praises the marginal aspect of a body, its persistence and survival, its resistance to rules and its search for a space of freedom, trusting that the binary gender will turn into a place of metamorphosis, of extensive hybridity, in which a prosthesis is incorporated as an integral member of the human body.
