Porn Nail$
By:Rosemarie Romero
Published on 2013 by

Porn Nail$ is a performance based multi-media/sensory installation in the form of a mobile nail salon, infiltrating public space with radical jouissance, vulgar conversations, and ghetto raunch. Mixing parodic gender play, B-movie camp, and Miami kitsch aesthetics, I perform tawdry alter-egos to critically celebrate, parody, and subvert the construction of Latin female identity and cultural stereotypes while confronting issues intersecting class, sexuality, and race. Porn Nail$ pays homage to my Miami upbringing, |low-class| culture, women's labor; and the cheap, garish sensuality of the urban exotic. By taking advantage of a commodity fetish and an industry model, I create modes of relational experience, exchange, and interaction. Recreating the sights, sounds, and smells of an urban nail salon, I construct a festive space where temporary micro-communities gather to openly talk about sex, love, and work specific to their locality in exchange for |tricked out,| colorful nails. This exchange operates within the social interstice of |gift economies| which, according to Georges Bataille, engages in trading activities outside the logic of capitalism and profit. As a site-specific project that gains meaning as I travel to different geographical locations and cultural contexts, Porn Nail$ deals with the question of assimilation. As a Latin immigrant I provide a service of cultural exchange and shared assimilation. Porn nail$ are a sign of |self-othering| and a mark of |the exotic| on the fingertips. It is a call for reclaiming one's |hidden magic| and diversity. This marking of otherness and cultural hybridity is achieved through my symbolic use of vivid color and collage aesthetics. Porn Nail$ is a conscious artistic gesture to further question and blur the boundaries between high and low culture and the notion of |bad taste| in order to reveal its subtle ideologies regarding social hierarchies and exclusion of |others| in regards to gender, class, and race.
