Firstly, please tell me your full name, age, where you were born, and where you currently live.
My name is Maria Clara Iborra Forqué, I’m 24, and I was born in Madrid, Spain. I currently live in NY.
When did your relationship with the internet begin?
Well, at 12-13 with messenger. I used to talk to boys on messenger because I actually didn't in real life. The internet was good for me to feel safe while flirting.
How do you deal with slut shaming?
Well, I struggled a bit in school at age 14-15 when I first got breasts and started to like boys. Girls above and below me were mean and called me a slut and intimidated me. Further on in my life, I really didn’t care about slut shaming. I’m proud of what I do.
What was your art debut?
I consider my blood performances as my art debut. It was the first thing I really wanted to do. I poured 2 liters of fake blood out of a gasoline tank over me, naked. I performed it for people for the first time here in NY at Grace Exhibition Space on a lake in the forest where we, the girls, were all performing naked. It was like a dream.
Where do you want to take your art?
I want to take it to quality museums/platforms, fashion shows, and films.
