My Story, Let Me Tell It — Act III, 2026–
Further images
My Story, Let Me Tell It — Act III moves the work from mirror and spatial structure into voice. In this act, Analize Nicolini develops a video-performance based on the public reading of the 37 Yogyakarta Principles, presented through a vertical monitor with mirrored surface and audio.
The work inscribes the artist’s presence within a juridical and normative field that has historically regulated dissident bodies and identities. What had previously appeared as a mirrored statement and then as spatial architecture now becomes public enunciation.
The operation shifts authorship from the individual plane to the regime of rights. The voice does not ask for exception; it claims recognition. The reading transforms normative language into concrete presence, testing how juridical and human-rights language changes when it is carried by a body, a voice and an image.
In this act, to narrate one’s own story implies moving through the law. The work does not treat law as abstraction, but as a field of address, legibility, exposure and dispute. Voice, framing, reflection, filming, editing and public reading become part of the same operation.
Within the broader body of work My Story, Let Me Tell It, Act III marks the passage from self-representation to public address. Authorship is no longer only a claim before the reflected image or a spatial reorganisation of the exhibition field; it becomes an embodied act of speaking under rights.
