A theatrically charged self-portrait from Martine Gutierrez's landmark 2018 publication Indigenous Woman, this C-print presents the artist adorned in an elaborate fish mask, merging the ceremonial with the carnivalesque in a gesture that is at once seductive and unsettling. Gutierrez conceived Indigenous Woman as a fully self-produced fashion magazine, designing every element from editorial concept to styling, makeup, and photography, and the resulting images carry the high-gloss authority of commercial imagery while fundamentally subverting it from within. Page 48 belongs to the "Masking" chapter, in which the artist explores the transformative and protective power of disguise, drawing on pre-Columbian iconography, contemporary fashion, and her own Guatemalan Maya heritage to construct an identity that refuses singular categorization. The work is mounted on Sintra, lending it a clean, object-like presence that reinforces its origins in print while elevating the image to the status of fine art photography. Gutierrez's practice interrogates beauty standards, gender, and Indigenous representation by placing herself at every point of production, a choice that collapses the distance between subject and author and charges the image with an unusual degree of intentionality. The fish mask, vivid and architecturally precise against Gutierrez's composed gaze, functions both as disguise and declaration, asserting that identity is always partly constructed, always partly performed. Signed by the artist and currently on offer at Hayward Gallery at Southbank Centre, this work represents a pivotal moment in Gutierrez's practice and belongs to a series that has been widely exhibited and critically recognized as a significant contribution to contemporary photography, queer art, and discourse on Indigenous identity. For collectors seeking work that operates across multiple registers of meaning with sustained formal rigor, this piece offers exceptional depth.
