Fine Art nominee

Discomposure, discomfort. The brain tries to pigeonhole the images in a binary way. If you have a beard you must be a man. If you wear dress and makeup, you must be a woman.
Well, it's not like that.

Ambiguity, rupture. The tyranny of the genre breaks with each portrait. Two options that become a spectrum full of colors, brightness and shapes.
And of liberation.

Transgression, ecstasy. The stereotypes of the feminine and the masculine are exacerbated to irony. The playful handling of sexuality leads to a universe of fun.
Without rules.

Drag Me by Kako Abraham is a photographic series starring five drag queens from the United States.
These are real artistic characters, created to attract, entertain and shock on a stage.
Drag Me is a performance that must remain forever immortalized. Here and now.

In times when there is a camera in every pocket, the creativity is crucial to identify an artist.

Kako Abraham is a photographer and filmmaker with a unique point of view, not suitable for prudish.
Profound at a point that can be dark, conceptual in a way that might turn abstract, his works are
always dramatic.

There are many ways to acquire beauty and, in his case, the path usually goes from rejection to
transcendence. Postproduction is a tool he uses as a mean to achieve realities beyond ours, that are both
familiar and strange.

You can love his work or hate it, that´s the point.
