Muy Serio
(Very Serious)
“Serio” is Colombian gay slang for “straight acting” and is used disdainfully as the opposite of effeminate, queer, faggot or sissy. “Muy” is an intensifying adverb with a strong “camp” potential.
In the "Muy Serio" series, dance artist Carlos Maria Romero uses traditional pieces of masculine clothing as the sculpting material for a variety of performative acts de/re/constructing masculinity.
