Abstract

This paper proposes an interpretation of the performance Yeguada Latinoamericana, by Chilean artist Cheril Linett. We will approach Linett´s work analyzing specifically the place of the anal aspect of the images it presents. Using Paul Preciado´s and Guy Hoquenghem´s theories on this subject, we will explore the anal aesthetics of the bodies in Linett´s performances, specifically reading the relationships that arise between the anal and the critique to institutions such as state, police and religion.
