Salomé and Vloof l’aigrette – Pain de singe

Museum of Modern Art

Teo Hernández's first feature film, "Salomé," reinterprets the gospel story with a high-camp aesthetic, blending Mexican iconography and gay glitter. Shot primarily in the filmmaker's apartment, it uses suspended objects, color, light, and varied projection speeds to create a visual experience where bodies drift and dissolve. "Vloof l’aigrette – Pain de singe" is a 4-minute accompaniment featuring dancer Bernardo Montet in drag, created for a theatrical show. Hernández praised Montet as an ideal performer, embodying power and grace through his gestures.
