Carne de perro

A project by Marta González. CARNE DE PERRO is a photographic project that explores the ways in which sexual violence, the hypersexualisation of childhood and the pornification of society have become naturalised as part of contemporary life, turning into a device of power that operates through images and technologies. It is the fear for her children in the face of this situation that drives the author to investigate this social phenomenon. This fear is not articulated solely through critical thought, but has its origin in a personal imaginary universe, populated by disturbing images that emerge from her subconscious. From this intimate space the author gives form to the "monster" (the device of power), embodying it in the figure of the dog as a materialisation of a diffuse but constant threat, and deposits in it a great symbolic charge to make visible how she perceives this danger, representing the various forms that power takes on in order to establish this reality: from predation, to domestication and the loyalty of the "dog pack". Fresh meat is used as a visual resource to show how the pornographic interface and the butcher's shop window become indistinguishable.
