habeas corpus

Habeas corpus is the union of sound and image recorded separately.
In a first moment a voice recorder was given to F.S., a transsexual in the process of becoming a woman. F.S. speaks freely of her feelings, of her childhood while growing up in a small countryside Brazilian town.
In a second moment a 5-year-old boy was asked to make a drawing, whatever he wished; the result was very surprising.
In the video the young boy neatly makes his drawing using colored pencils as F.S. talks about herself and her childhood memories. Voice and image together build up a statement, the fear of being ridiculed.
