Tipotropotropos

Tipotropotropos is a collection of photographs taken between 1998 and 2016. They manifest Miguel's performativity and a heretical artistic practice based on any situation or scene, be it daily, liturgical or festive. The guy he embodies, created with an imperceptible prop and some deviation of clothes or poses, is the main character of the action that deciphers codes imposed by the heteropatriarchal system to disarticulate dissidence. The political intersects with poetry, the trashy, the witty and the everyday.
