FONS ÀUDIO #60
Helena Vinent
Helena Vinent
In FONS ÀUDIO #60, artist Helena Vinent takes us deep into her work "Hard Persistence". Her artistic practice resonates with a crip-queer and/or anti-ableist perspective: in short, a politics of life that advocates for those marginalised by a system that standardises and validates the body for the benefit of capitalism. In "Hard Persistence", subtitles, closed captions, displacements, hapticity and the cyborg body—via prostheses—come together in a fragmentary narrative that questions the essentialist idea of a fixed identity. The starting point is the premise that, in an ableist context such as ours, a body assigned as disabled is not read as a complete human body.
