Ya no sabemos existir sin performar.

This year's Met Gala made me think about something I've been wanting to say for a while: I'm fed up with celebrities turning everything into a performance, even political messages that end up being contradictory and hypocritical. But we're not so different. Everything we do, at some point, becomes performative, and it's not just because of social media. In this video, I reflect on these issues so we can think together: how much of what we do is genuine and not just an act to please others? #performance #videoessay #socialmedia ___ 📖Subscribe to my Substack: https://substack.com/@valentrinaok 📸 Follow me on Instagram: •   / valentrina_ok   Contact email: • [email protected] . . 🔺TIMESTAMPS🔺 00:00 Intro 00:44 Celebrities Being Performative 02:15 But We Do It Too 03:48 It's Not Just a Social Media Problem 05:31 Documenting Everything and the Need to Be Perfect 07:27 Conclusions
