- The camera is androgynous machine, a kind of mechanical hermaphrodite. (Jim Morrison) Hermafrodita porém antropomórfica, a câmara torna-se prótese que vai ate as cordas vocais e as traz cá para fora. Prótese no sentido em que se adiciona ao corpo, para depois o substituir. O corpo politico e o corpo que é politico. Ou do corpo como ponto de partida para uma geopolítica de responsabilização. Começar assim, não por um continente, por um país ou por uma casa mas pela geografia mais próxima - o corpo. Aqui pelo menos, sei que existo. (Adrienne Rich)
- The camera is androgynous machine, a kind of mechanical hermaphrodite. (Jim Morrison) Hermaphrodite but anthropomorphic, the camera becomes a prosthesis that goes to the vocal cords and brings them out. Prosthesis in the sense that it is added to the body, in order to replace it. The body politic and the body that is political. Or the body as a starting point for a geopolitics of accountability. Begin though, not with a continent or a country or a house, but with the geography closest in-the body. Here at least I know I exist. (Adrienne Rich)
