Body Language

Turn your back on it.

Ana Mendieta: Earth Body, Sculpture and Performance, 1972-1985
Whitney Museum of American Art. Untitled [Body Tracks], 1974.

What I love is better than what you love. More profound, more compelling, sexier.
What I hate deserves it. It's more horrible and evil than what you hate.
My taste is better than yours. More developed and complex.
I'm cool. I'm hot. I love to look at myself, but I'm way too cool to look at you. And you are too pathetic not to look at me.
What are you looking at? Why are you here? Who do you think you are? What did you say?
