This thesis is presented as an investigation in art whose starting point is the work “Transform the gaze”, my end-of-degree project made in the year 2018 for the PUCP’s Facultad de Arte y Diseño’s Painting Undergraduate Program. From the problem of the lack of a gender recognition law3 in Peru I, Christina O’Higgins Horna4 , develop a doubly articulated visual proposal, staging a face-off between official identification and lived identity, with the intent of proposing a positive narrative of gender transition and questioning the motivations and end goals of the ever present societal transphobia. In this investigation I hold that the transition narrative and interactive kinetic art, central elements of my work at a plastic and discursive level, are viable possibilities to consider in the search for positive transgender representation in visual arts, and I will argue in favor of its pertinence to this issue. The present text inquiries about the dominant mechanisms of representation that are exerted over trans lives in Peru, the strategies that have been employed from art and activist spaces to face injustice, and the personal experiences in the fields of art and everyday life that give shape to “Transformar la mirada”.
