Statement
_Pudor_ is a video-performance that investigates the mechanisms through which sexuality can be silenced, regulated, and denied within rigid religious contexts. The work centers on the experience of having one’s sexual subjectivity suppressed by a community structured around moral restraint and spiritual dogma.
At its core, the piece addresses vaginismus not only as a physiological condition, but as a psychosomatic manifestation shaped by repression, shame, and the absence of dialogue about the body. Within this environment, sexual pain becomes unspeakable, as religious belief systems override the recognition of sexual health and autonomy.
01 — Text
In _Pudor_, violence is not portrayed as an isolated act, but as a diffuse and collective force. It emerges through omission, silence, and the normalization of denial. The work reflects on how communities that refuse to acknowledge the value of sexuality can inadvertently produce forms of structural violence, inscribing control and guilt onto the body itself.
