Abstract
This article is interested in photographic portraits. To do this, the visual proposal of Lariza Hatrick -an argentine lesbian artist dedicated to portraying the sex-dissident community that she herself inhabits- is considered. Interesting here is the way in which her portraits account for the apparition of bodies as an ontological place of political contestation not reducible to the level of meaning. In this direction, some links between identity and representation are explored based on the pioneering work of Michel Foucault, the queer gaze of Judith Butler, and the well-known photographs of Cindy Sherman. Finally, a counterpoint is made between, on the one hand, these theoretical and aesthetic approaches, and, on the other hand, the ontological register that nests in Hatrick's photographs – here pondered as support where the abject reverberates, that is, a radical otherness that circulates in corporeal materiality that goes beyond any normative framework.
