el CONTEXTO PARA LAS MUJERES QUE CAMINAN EN LA CALLE
[EN] A context for women walking on the street.LA VIOLENCIA SIMBÓLICA DEL ACTO FOTOGRÁFICO
Al ser acosada, solía sentir culpa por la forma en que me vestía o por donde decidía caminar en la calle. Pero entre más consciente era de la violencia de género, la culpa comenzó a tornarse en enojo. Entonces empecé a responder a las agresiones fotografiando con mi celular a los hombres que me agredían.
[EN] When I was harassed, I often felt guilty about the way I dressed or where I chose to walk on the street. But the more aware I became of gender violence, the guilt began to turn to anger. Then I began to respond to the attacks by photographing the men who attacked me with my cell phone.
“las mujeres se encuentran supeditadas a expresiones concretas de agresiones y violencias, que las llevan a un punto crónico de habitar de forma subalterna los espacios”.

Shh, hey! He called me sitting on the bench with an erection.
He touched his crotch.
I felt their hands, but I couldn't see which of them all did it.
la territorialización masculina del espacio
[EN] Gender violence exercised through the male territorialization of spacePero, una vez más, la sensación de instantaneidad de la imagen fotográfica parecía no hacer justicia a la frustración. Así que dediqué varias horas a dibujar cada hombre fotografiado.
[EN] But, once again, the sense of instantaneousness of the photographic image did not seem to do justice to the frustration. So I spent several hours drawing each photographed man.
Yesterday, a stranger followed me on his bicycle. Today, the same man on the bicycle followed me.I stopped jogging to chase after him and complain. He replied, "But I only called you my girl!"A clown in a crosswalk, while juggling in front of the traffic, said, "Goodbye, darling."His gaze was fixed on me, despite my expression of disgust.I turned to see who was walking behind me, but it was a woman.I was wearing baggy black pants, a dirty one. A brown faux-fur sweatshirt. And my hair was tied back in a messy bun.He pretended not to have photographed me.He raised his eyebrows at me, along with a sexual gesture on his face. He was an elderly man.I responded with an obscene gesture. He responded in kind, adding more verbal attacks."Hi!" How are you!.I checked to see if I didn't have semen on my clothes.I felt like it was my fault for not wearing a less tight-fitting top.I started walking faster and crossed the street as soon as I could.As he passed me by, the man moved his head as if trying to smell my neck."Come here!" he demanded.I was on the subway, packed with people. Before I knew it, the man had his hands inside my shirt. I didn't have a chance to react.Beautiful!He started chasing me down several blocks until I managed to lose him.A patrol car passed by on the avenue. One of the officers stuck his head out of the window and shouted at me: "You're so hot!"I was on the subway when I felt someone squeeze my buttocks.There weren't many people around at that time of the day. He followed me along the avenue until I hid in a supermarket.He said, "You don't even have ass."They started walking louder behind me, each one rating me and my appearance on a scale from 1 to 10.
