Juana and Fausta
A hand browses the argentine edition of Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë´s novel, published in a children´s collection called “Robin Hood”, very popular for generations of Argentineans. The gestures repeats with a book printed in Arabic, as a counterpoint between two languages, two ways of writing and reading . The illustrations also shows two types of aesthetics of female representation, intervened by a gesture that recreates the figure of the veil, trying to find out if stereotypes are in the picture or in our interpretation of it.
