Bollos

In this most militant piece, Cabello/Carceller appropriate the word "bollera", used as an insult for lesbians, and literally embody it: the two of them defy the categorisation involved in scrutinising another person’s face in a film portrait of the duo each eating a "bollo", or creampuff. By reappropriating the insult, one of the queer strategies par excellence, and liberating it from its erstwhile moral charge they make it once again a personal identifiable adjective.
