Documenting The Cabaret on Instagram
Living The Cabaret
"I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking. Recording the man shaving at the window opposite and the woman in the kimono washing her hair. Some day, all this will have to be developed, carefully printed, fixed."
Christopher Isherwood, Goodbye to Berlin, 1939
Description
The Cabaret is a series of three-dimensional portraits and videos of LGBTQ communities and their allies around the world. Drag queens, go-go dancers, bar tenders, artists, DJs, nudists, athletes, and some of the regulars are part of a group of unsung heroes that cherish their freedom as artists and outsiders, celebrating their own individuality. All the participants in the project were met in a wide range of social spaces, bars, dance clubs, coffee places, athletic events, and Christmas parties, that reflect the vast culture and dynamics of safe havens that thrive on freedom and self-expression - survival tools to face the rise of fascism in several countries.
Project Statement
Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome
Im Cabaret, au Cabaret, to Cabaret
Leave your troubles outside!
So - life is disappointing? Forget it!
We have no troubles here! Here life is beautiful...
CABARET: music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb (1966)
We bring the Cabaret with ourselves wherever we go, to make life fulfilling and delightful.
The Cabaret is considered the contemporary cultural manifestation of sexual minorities mostly under oppressive political and/or unfavorable economic circumstances. It encompasses witty, comic, outrageous and exuberant performances, partial nudity, cross-dressing and highly politicized messages, reflecting the spirits of their time, in a true avant-garde form of self-expression. The notion of the Cabaret became mainstream with the 1966 Broadway play of the same name, inspired by the 1930's writings by Christopher Isherwood, documenting the underground scene in Berlin before Hitler rose to power. The Stonewall riots of 1969 brought to light the gay underground world in New York, making the Cabaret more visible in society. My interest in this subject matter started in 1999, when I lived and became part of the local Bogotá scene, creating an alter ego called Patty E. Patétik. I followed Isherwood's steps, and became part of the Cabaret with the goal of preserving the memory, motion and spirit of most of us transient artists, that are traditionally forgotten by history, narratives and new technologies. In my experience, I discovered that the Cabaret had broken its 4th wall a long time ago, and that its stage had permeated into the lives of all of us participants, blurring the lines between performance and audience, fiction and reality, marking the ways in which we participate in this world.
Technology
The images that compose the series are created with the Kinect sensor, capturing 3D volume data, mapping RGB and IR information captured by the embedded digital cameras. The data is then visualized in a virtual three-dimensional environment through custom programming code, written by the artist in Processing 3.0, and exported in real time as a sequence of uncompressed TGA files. These stills can be processed as individual images or turned into still frame animations, using After Effects and Premiere. Photoshop is only used for compositing, color correction and resizing purposes.

Scandals Saloon is a Country/Western Gay bar in Wilton Manors, FL, city with the second highest LGBTQ population in the USA. Every Monday night they host a Drag Queen show called 'Stilettos' on the main dance floor, at the same time as a Cigar Smokers Social in the patio. 'Monday Night Scandals' seeks to document the indoor and outdoor atmospheres of this location, portraying diverse and colorful characters that see this bar as the perfect way to kick the Monday blues away, drinking cocktails, talking to the bartenders, interacting with the performers, and smoking cigars. Scandals is scheduled to move to a new location in 2018, with no set date, and the memories of this location hopefully will carry on to the new venue. Starring Bubba, Bill Vanderhoof, Candy Cox, Mitzi Ross, Patrick Drake, and the usual Monday Night suspects.

Collaborative project with Brazilian musician, academician and composer Antenor Ferreira, studying the nature of today's Cabaret: alcohol, entertainment, dance, sex, solitude, the exchanges between the participants, and most of all money. This experimental video was obviously inspired by the writings of Christopher Isherwood and the play/movie of the same title. This piece is created with segments and unedited footage from other videos in the Cabaret series, portraying the atmosphere inside the modern Cabaret. All the footage was shot in situ, during live performances at Hunters and Scandals Saloon, in Wilton Manors, FL, with the second largest LGBTQ population in the USA, a new Gay Mecca. The characters of this video are Roke Cabrera (Spanish DJ); Natasha, Bill and Bubba (bartenders); Frank (73 y/o go-go dancer); Mitzi Ross, Candy Cox, RaeJean Cox, Glamora, Leila Cox (fabulous Drag Queen entertainers at Scandals Saloon); Jose and Troy (very active members of the local Bear community), the line dancers at Scandals, and the dance floor regulars at Hunters' Studio 54 T-Dance Sunday party, among others.
