Always antifascist (Neofascism), 2022.
In Nazi concentration camps, prisoners were marked by a visual coding system that differentiated them according to the crimes they were charged with. This system consisted of sewing a piece of cloth in the shape of an inverted triangle on their uniforms; the colour of the triangle varied according to the crime charged.
The black triangle was intended for prisoners with physical and intellectual disabilities, the homeless, prostitutes, alcoholics, drug addicts, social misfits and anarchists.
This geometric shape, used by the fascists to mark and humiliate, was later reclaimed by social organisations as a symbol of their own identity, thus resignifying its value and neutralising its original vexatious charge.
These marks were re-appropriated and re-signified as a symbol of resistance and anti-fascist struggle.
Always antifascist was a public action in which the artist tattooed himself with a 4 cm black triangle.
