‘I spent my adolescence very quietly. I lived countless days reading people mainly, their
“non-words’ ‘. A “gesture word”, a “gaze word”, a “breath word”… I spend my life trying
to read the ways our thinking carves the body. I think the piece settles here.“
Gaya de Medeiros
Atlas da Boca explores two trans bodies through the mouth. As a symbol, the mouth
becomes the interface between the public and the private, between the erotic and the
political, between silence and the word that lasts. Questioning the “words-gestures”, this
piece delves into the moments in which the mouth hardens, letting the words come out
roaring.
