PEREZ, Karine. Mimicry and cover-ups as a means of resistance against the sameness of the “I”, in the “Paisajes” series, by Cecilia Paredes. Estúdio [online]. 2021, vol.12, n.33, pp.77-84.  Epub Mar 31, 2021. ISSN 1647-6158.

This writing is about the series “Paisajes”, by Peruvian Cecilia Paredes (Lima, 1950). Her creative process is developed through textile and pictorial coverings of the body and face, painted with the same patterns of prints used in the background of the photographic composition, which allows an approximation between the series and the concept of mimicry, based on Deleuze and Guattari (1995). Because these authors think the phenomenon as a becoming to become another, momentarily, it is understood that the mimicry and cover-ups operated by Cecilia Paredes allow an opening to the otherness and the ipseity of the “I”, resisting against its sameness.

Keywords : mimicry; coverings; sameness of the “I”.
