ON THE GENEALOGY OF MORALITY: Virgina Woolf

The feminist author, Virginia Woolf, explores the history of women in literature through and unconventional and highly provocative investigation of the social and material conditions required for the writing of literature.

The gender inequalities at the time of the author were enormous, and it was too difficult to have success as a women writer.  It’s very interesting how Virginia Woolf reflects on that if women wanted to work as a writer, she must be able to count on a number of conditions: access to writing and education, autonomy possession (access to a physical space to provide privacy) and the possession of own economic resources. But now, the womens situation have changed.

So this main ideas of Virginia Woolf are the ones that I choose to represent visually through this video.

I've choosen to put in the video this song called "Ella" by Bebe, an Spanish singer-songwriter and actress. I think that this song is linked to Virginia Woolf 's ideas because the song is about the freedom of women and also is an statemen against gender violence.

"AN IMAGE IS WORTH MORE THAN A THOUSAND WORDS"

This series of portraits called "Like every day" by Shadi Ghadirian, had impacted me a lot, how the face of the women is replaced for a household object. I could see throuhg this pictures the different conceptions that exsist in the world about the women's roles.

As Ghadirian do, uses an ordinary kitchen utensil and through her simple recontextualisation, she develops a fictional character of hilarious proportions. So, what I have done is to add some utensils such as the Smartphone, the money or the fast food because I think that is what is identifying us as a modern society, because we're dominated by all of these things.

Finally, I decide to put my face, to demonstrate the value of womens nowadays.
