One file, two identities. Opened as a video, it shows for sixty seconds the bodies of women drifting underwater in half-light, made by male collaborators, the way society often looks: beauty, distance, silence. Change only the extension to .pdf and the same file opens on a testimony by Kalen Iwamoto. The work is about domestic violence and femicide, violence present in every frame and unseen until you look differently. The title refers to the sex-determining region of the Y chromosome.
