Revelacion

Jaque Jolene has been Márcia Beatriz’s artistic identity for over 10 years. Jaque Jolene is a Brazilian woman and in Revelación it was her first time in another culture, and since then, she has been creating works inspired by world female icons to perform these new experiences. Jaque Jolene, this “undefined figure”, in her inroads into the city, through public spaces, shows how Márcia Beatriz maintains control over her existence, over her appearances and sometimes it is Jaque Jolene who fights to end the identity of its author, its creator.
