Doble Fiction

Overview

Double fiction is a video in which we see several action scenes performed by women. The idea behind this project stemmed from discovering that, until recently, men would double female characters in scenes which would put the individual at higher risk. It was rare that a stunt woman could dub a female character. Consequently, I decided to contact the first and only female team of Spanish stunt women specialists called Valkirias Stunts, to reinterpret scenes from movies in which men had acted as the stunt, although the character was dubbed to be a woman. The outcome is a feminist simulacrum in which cinematographic magic depicts violence, struggle, and fictional survival as a form of vindication, focusing on the role of the female figure in the audiovisual image.
