Sujeto, objeto (Subject, object)

This film is currently not available.   
Subject, Object addresses prostitution through images of those who practice it and the spaces where it takes place. The project questions how this reality is represented, perceived, and integrated into our society. The viewer moves among faces and places, traces of a complex phenomenon often reduced to simplistic narratives.
The subject displays a sequence of mugshots of people arrested for prostitution. The public display of these images online reinforces their stigmatization; the homogeneity of the shots erases individuality, making it difficult to empathize with their stories. Their gazes avert from the camera, fleeing the focus that criminalizes them. A whispered audio accompanies the sequence, suggesting a guilt imposed from the outside.
In Objeto , the video uses Google Street View to explore public places where prostitution takes place, locations taken from an Italian website .
