Ximena Cuevas: Devil in the Flesh/El Diablo en la Piel (1998)



"In Devil in the Flesh we see the camera's tricks, and even so the action seems dramatic. This piece once again exemplifies my fascination with the artificial: the fabricated emotions; the Christian looking for pain in order to live out Passion; the discomfort of the everyday melodrama; the emptiness that defeats everything. So, as in all my work, I am obsessed with lying's various disguises. It doesn't interest me to watch that which is not hidden." (Ximena Cuevas, 1999, quoted from videodatabank.org)
