Realidades y deseos es el reflejo de un mundo doloroso, estigmatizado y violento, de quienes nacieron en el cuerpo equivocado: travestis y transgénero. Las fotografías de Susana Casarin incitan al espectador a observar la humanidad detrás de los retratos. Arnoldo Kraus reflexiona sobre la metáfora del cuerpo como santuario o autodestrucción.

Realities and Desires reflects a world that is sometimes painful, where individuals can be stigmatized or even persecuted for being born in the wrong body: men who feel like women, people who inhabit and construct novel corporeal geographies. Susana Casarin’s portraits’ underlying humanity remains clearly visible. In his essay, Arnoldo Kraus expands on the metaphor of the body as a home, as a sanctuary or as a place of self-destruction.
