Seba Calfuqueo
Looking for Marcela Calfuqueo is a video work that registers the process of searching and possible reencounter with Marcela Monsalve, a woman to whom Sebastián Calfuqueo met coincidentally. Sebastián and Marcela look undeniably alike. It could even be said that they are visually identical, but contrary in their biological sex. Both, surprised by their physical resemblance, kept a relationship for about two years that ended suddenly given they had lost contact: Marcela disappeared without a trace. The same way she came to his life, she left. For Sebastián the encounter with somebody whose appearance was similar to his meant the discovery of his so-longed femininity without the need of feminizing his own identity. That is why he established an unconventional strategy in order to find her or maybe to find himself. Alongside Sergio Palominos, a dowser, they are going to use the tele-radiesthesia with the purpose of finding her and, at the same time, finding Sebastián’s lost femininity: Marcela Calfuqueo.
