Ana Segovia’s paintings depict undefined faces and bodies in cinematic settings to illustrate how montage, artifice, and performativity are involved in creating gender and national identities. Her most recent works are displayed in a manner that merges installation, theater, dance, and video art. In I’ve been meaning to tell you, Segovia reevaluates representations of hypermasculinity within mainstream cinema. Here, she draws on iconic 1980s dance movies such as Footloose and Dirty Dancing to create an imagined set of film stills where queer protagonists perform in nightclubs. Using playfulness to protest traditional norms, they address cultural gaps, untold stories, and subvert the heteronormative narratives present in the popular culture.
