Talk about body. 2013
Video
The winner of the Grand Prize of BRL 75,000 was Hui Tao (China), for his video Talk about body (2013). It discusses the coexistence of different times and cultures, urban and rural settings, and traditions and progresses that grow outdated and reinvent themselves. Sitting on his bed, dressed like a Muslim woman, he describes himself. According to the jury, “In a wholly unassuming way, Tao’s video engages with some of the most pressing issues of our times: race, gender, religious traditions, the importance of listening to the other, and the importance of seeing oneself… all of this with the potential to create a much-needed sense of radical empathy in our world, in these times.”
