	Monica, the erotic fanzine

This is our daughter, Monica. She’s named Monica after her two grandmothers—our mothers—Mónica Lilienfeld and Mónica Pezdirc. This coincidence has intrigued us ever since we began our relationship, because it goes further: both Monicas were born in Argentina in the 1950s; both were daughters of European refugees; both eventually emigrated to Spain; and both were image-makers.

Mónica Lilienfeld was a painter who died very young. In her oil paintings she portrayed herself, merging her body with her dreams and fears. Mónica Pezdirc posed nude in hundreds of erotic photographs taken by her husband on the nudist beaches of Galicia.

In their canvases and photographs, thousands of Monicas appear. These thousand Monicas have mothered us, have inspired us, taught us... These Monicas have given form to us so that now we can give form to her, Monica.

Nuestra queridísima Mónica. Monica is our daughter, our non-human daughter. She is a stage piece that we present here in the form of a fanzine. A fanzine full of eroticism and desire, meant to reflect not so much on what an image is, but on what an image can do: inspire, teach, show, arouse.

	We’ve been together since 2014.

Our work has become interwoven with our relationship, starting from intimacy to explore representations of collectivity that question the hegemonic ways of narrating ourselves. “Narrarse es cuidarse”, we tell each other. ”To narrate ourselves is to take care of each other".

Our performances, videos, installations and games are tools for the creation of worlds and genealogies. Speculative fiction is the common ground in all our works, a terrain on which practices as diverse as synchronized swimming, raving and role-playing games intersect.

	MONICA
	WORKS&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;PUBLICATIONS&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;ABOUT&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;UPCOMING


	Monica is the name of our two mothers. This coincidence has fascinated us since we began our relationship: both Monicas were born in Argentina in the 1950s, daughters of European war refugees and they both emigrated to Spain as adults.

Monica Lilienfeld (Pablo’s mum) was a painter who died very young, in 1986. Monica Pezdirc (Fede’s mum) posed nude throughout her life in the erotic photographs taken by her husband. The paintings and photographs created by our mothers form the basis of this work, which interweaves our diasporic genealogies and explores the performativity of images.


In Monica the trees of traditional genealogy intermingle, forming a web of non-heteronormative maternities and speculative telenovelas. A genealogical ecology is thus formed in which not only the epic of wars, migrations and other patriarchal-historicist narratives coexist, but also those that have been left out.

Monica, the erotic fanzine is now available!

  PRESS REVIEW
  Monica, a tender epic

“Pablo Lilienfeld and Federico Vladimir share their lives as both romantic and artistic partners. They also share the fact that both their mothers are named Monica. In Monica, they weave together their own life stories with those of their mothers, grandparents, great-grandparents, and even their future children. This tender epic blends performance, drag elements, and storytelling into a well-crafted, interdisciplinary piece. They explore their personal idea of what it means to “represent”: how do you present yourself, and what is the role of embodiment in a world saturated with images?”

As you enter, you see various paintings displayed around a softly illuminated yellow projection screen. Behind it stand two backlit silhouetted figures—a welcome into the Wunderkammer of Pablo and Fede, and the many Monicas that will appear throughout the performance. In a gentle tone, Lilienfeld and Vladimir begin the performance by speaking—promising not only a story about their mothers, but also about their ‘child’ Monica.

The life stories of the various mother-Monicas are interwoven with broader historical contexts. Both grew up in Argentina and later emigrated to Spain. However, their paths differ—together, they evoke a significant portion of European history: from the rise of fascism causing flight, to collaboration and displacement, the emergence of the Soviet Union, Jewish communities in South America, and some eventually finding their way back to Europe. Monica Lilienfeld (Pablo’s mother) passed away in 1986, leaving behind a large number of paintings. These images are placed alongside nude photographs of Federico’s mother, taken by her husband. While one Monica remains immortalised in her paintings, the other Monica ages in the photographs.&#38;nbsp;Pablo and Federico adopt poses from the images by their mothers—performingmostly&#38;nbsp;naked, with make-up that, with a few small spots and lines, surprisingly efficiently creates a drag layer. The mother-Monicas’ stories and poses are interspersed with poems by Monica Lilienfeld set to music, more theoretical reflections on representation, and lip-sync performances—another layer of drag—of songs including one by Janis Ian.

The photograph, or the painting, are in themselves images, representations, of the “real”, physical Monicas -and&#38;nbsp;in turn&#38;nbsp;Pablo and Federico’s bodies take on those representations. However, adopting postures is not simply a matter of (re)presenting something absent, to&#38;nbsp;representing it&#38;nbsp;in&#38;nbsp;the literal meaning of representation. Rather, for the creators-performers, to represent means to be there, to stand there, not only in function of what you bring back (re-present), but above all for yourself. The gentle, stimulating friction between their bodies and those of their mothers, and between the different media, indeed opens up another way of being present: open, multiple, less defined. As they themselves say: representation is not merely about similarity, about embodying a predetermined meaning.&#38;nbsp;Instead, to represent is to open possibilities that arise when earlier codes and systems—whether about gender, family structures, or identity—are absent or released. This is where the drag aspect, which is rather subtle (at least in comparison with the often more exaggerated or explicit gender bending of drag performance), comes into its own.

Thanks to their conception of representation, they remain autonomous—not dependent on the gaze (though they may enjoy being seen). “We don’t need to be looked at. We are going to continue to be here,” as they say. It is not about external validation. It is about their own open, multifaceted&#38;nbsp;presence.&#38;nbsp;The combination of images, bodies (both mentally invoked through stories and physically present via photos, paintings, and&#38;nbsp;performance), and shared ideas conjures a different kind of “presence-in-potentiality.” This presence is both speculative&#38;nbsp;(since it has not yet&#38;nbsp;been&#38;nbsp;fixed or fully defined)&#38;nbsp;and grounded&#38;nbsp;(in, among other things, the histories). It is itself an example of emancipation within interconnection.&#38;nbsp;What’s intriguing is how this performance draws a line from personal and&#38;nbsp;social&#38;nbsp;history toward opening up a multiple future.

This unfolding happens almost literally when Pablo and Federico step offstage to let a projected video take center stage. In it, images from a fictional, clichéd art documentary – including the typical “semi-enthusiastic” intonation of the presenter, played here by Pablo and Federico, again with voice-over – are mixed with images of the two of them making collages, applying drag make-up, performing and telling stories with a group of children. On a beach, in a theater hall, in a bedroom or an atelier—the role-play continues in this video work, again blending different media. The children, Pablo and Fede's nephews and nieces, are also&#38;nbsp;the&#38;nbsp;older nephews and nieces&#38;nbsp;of Monica&#38;nbsp;– the announced child of both performers.

In a growing number of countries, drag with and for children would once again lead to moral riots, but here it is shown in a disarmingly playful way—it is fundamentally about play, about holding contact with potentiality—and the imagination that is our freedom. Making such potentiality our own—how we are and present ourselves through it: that is representation.&#38;nbsp;But in addition to&#38;nbsp;that&#38;nbsp;power, there is also a certain innocence and naivety in this.&#38;nbsp;The children, like Pablo and Federico, wear nightgown-like garments, and the tenderness of some stories even feels like bedtime tales.

Monica has something epic about it, because the story spans at least four generations (and who knows how many more yet to come), and because of its length (which is not distracting, because it is consistently high in quality). It is epic, but without pretension. Pablo and Federico choose humor, tenderness, and craftsmanship in constructing the whole. Funny, disarmingly honest, they tell stories about the big themes&#38;nbsp;in life: love, loss, relationships, growing old (both aging and having children), imagination.

Despite the grand themes, Monica always returns to the love between these two performer. Their love is expressed in their artistic kinship and how they share the stage with each other, their mothers, grandmothers, their nieces and nephews, and their&#38;nbsp;own&#38;nbsp;creation: their daughter Monica.

When we finally arrive at their child, we enter a realm of artificially generated images. We see the Monica-the-child as a virtual creation—perhaps the ultimate embodiment of potential: always digital, never fully graspable, generated by its makers and a slippery algorithm. She appears briefly then disappears again, merging into the image and being carried into the digital world, towards even more multiple forms and&#38;nbsp;deformations&#38;nbsp;that are possible and&#38;nbsp;may&#38;nbsp;become possible. For a while, they wave&#38;nbsp;goodbye to their daughter, as her presence unfolds—moving toward her own presence. This scene speaks about parenthood, but also about artists letting go of their work when it meets the world and discovers and develops&#38;nbsp;a presence of its own&#38;nbsp;through that encounter.

Thus, the circle is complete: whether it's about Pablo and Fede as performers, their mothers Monicas, their child Monica, or their performance: the (self-)creation remains open.  As a spectator, you have experienced something special: this performance builds its own potentiality, as it were: it becomes more multifaceted as it progresses. In this way, it emancipates itself from our gaze, but that does not mean that it does not want to be “with us”. On the contrary, spending time together without expectations, experiencing possibilities together: isn't that the fundamental meaning of freedom?
