Summary: 
The second of the guests in the framework of Un deseo de forma (a research project that the curator Aimar Arriola develops as Associate Researcher of Azkuna Zentroa) is the artist Camila Téllez, a transdisciplinary author who is currently developing her project Transición primaveral in the framework of Babestu. Extraordinary program of support to contemporary creation.
The elements of this research “are developed around vampirism in relation to queer/cuir, autobiography and body memory”. With the arrival of her menstruation at the age of twelve, the breakup of childhood and being confronted to accept her assigned gender, the artist at an early age, began to play the role of vampire, assuming the behavior of a creature of the night.
In this research, the artist proposes a sort of remake of her childhood experience to reconnect and reconfigure her personal account of vampirism, through a series of interviews conducted by collaborating artist Eszter Katalin, in which questions about non-image, reflection, desire, border, violence and fiction reappear to be answered through performativity.
