BICHO RARO investigates the world of bodybuilding – its lifestyle, exercise routines and aesthetics – to uncover the tension between the body cult nowadays and a queer perspective on the body. The solid, static, fixed body is opposed by a flexible, fluid human anatomy and its perception, developing against the rules as a new kind of bodily science fiction. Inspired by body-cult worlds, such as comics, posthumanism or cyberpunk, BICHO RARO tells of transformation and a human being as a system ready for mutation.
