About The Artwork
The idea of identity based on the definition of one as the bearer of something pertaining and irreducible, supposes the existence of particularities or crystallised characteristics. That is to say, of a unique and irremovable essence. So, any identity can be seen just as a transitory moment in the process of difference, a moment of fragmentation of the person in relation to a difference, of identification with the difference. Thus, when we talk about the relative characteristic of the difference, it might be considered that the root of this theme is simply classification. That is to say, the process of selecting and ordering the difference, since what defines what we speak, what we think, what to do or feel, all depends on the selection of a certain system of classification and not another. All this would make us think that talking about identity is talking about a process and not about an irremovable essence, and that the term “difference” is chained to that of “meaning”. In this way, as Zizek says, “there are no such people as Christians, or Jews, or black people; what only exists is a system of classification induced by interests and fears of social groups”. Synthesising, in cultural terms and specifically in ideological and political terms, the relation between signification and difference is the matrix that defines a system of power, since, if we talk about the relation of a person in his condition of belonging to a certain class, ethnic origin, genre or his inscription to a religious institution, we are talking of a way to carve up society and displace the rest which is not involved in the definition of what unites society. This property of a society is easily recognizable because it expresses itself through its discourses and the myths that these create. In the end, as Simmerl says, “the identification, the differentiation and the difference is the basis of social life”. Their narrations, stories, images and myths are the forms through which they are visible and transmissible. Sebastian Guerrini
