This video was created for the exhibition entitled "How I see, how they see me" which was intended to talk about the theme of sexuality in Guatemala. A simple video in which a pink demon tempts a character to wear a dress, which was intended to make a comment on how religion tries to blame people for having "fallen into temptation" by simply possessing and not hiding sexual orientations or tendencies not restricted to those conventionally accepted under the patriarchal heteronormative scheme. What particularly struck me was that, after several years of this piece, a friend told me that many people took this video as proof that I had come out of the closet. This fact, for me, says a lot about how people can create rumors based on stereotypes or ways of thinking that are different from the socially accepted ones.
