In an intimate exploration, Areli Moran examines the significance of hair as a repository of social norms, identity and desire. Why is head hair associated with beauty and seduction in most societies, while other body hair is perceived as repulsive? While Moran used to find her own hair disgusting, today a playful curiosity prevails. Between gentleness and electrifying tension, she exposes herself to a relentless confrontation with her own body.
DEUTCH
In einer intimen Erkundung verhandelt Areli Moran die Bedeutung von Haar als Speicherort von sozialen Normen, Identität und Begehren. Warum wird Kopfhaar in den meisten Gesellschaften mit Schönheit und Verführung verbunden, Körperbehaarung hingegen als eher abstoßend empfunden? Während Moran sich früher vor ihren eigenen Haaren ekelte, überwiegt heute eine spielerische Neugier. Zwischen Sanftheit und elektrisierender Spannung setzt sie sich der schonungslosen Konfrontation mit ihrem eigenen Körper aus.
