In the video, performance artist Nicolas Dumit Estevez performs the act of trying on 3 different body suits. These suits are digitally manipulated images of my own body, that were transferred onto fabric.
The body suits make literal the diverse racial composition that has always been a condition of identity in the Caribbean and Latin America. The concept of miscegenation -- the literal and imagined mixing of the races -- is implied in the 3 suits. This bizarre muddle can be a fictional family tree of Latin America, as though you could point to an elbow to suggest Indian heritage, a knee for African, a shoulder for Spanish. The historical mixing of races dates back to colonial times and it is inscribed on the female body.
Desire also is presented in the video as the performer enacts the male body desiring the female body as well as desiring to be another race.
