Carne de perro

Photography exhibition by Marta González that reflects on sexual violence, childhood hypersexualisation and the pornification of society through images and technologies.

Carne de perro is a photographic project by Marta González that examines how sexual violence, the hypersexualisation of childhood and the pornification of society have become normalised in contemporary life. The author argues that these phenomena function as a mechanism of power that operates through images and technology.

The starting point is fear for her children. That fear springs from a personal imaginary, populated by disturbing images, and the author gives it form in the figure of the dog, a diffuse but constant threat. The different forms of that power, from predation to domestication and loyalty, are represented through this figure.

Fresh meat serves as a visual device to show how indistinguishable the pornographic interface and the butcher's shop window have become. The works invite us to consider the gaze that society directs at bodies through screens.
