I am Pina Brutal, alias Brutal Cunt= where I come from Pina is a slur for female genitalia, and I
wear this name with a pride no Hungarian can stand.
They can not call me Pina, because their shame would burn them, and that is where I shine.
Fuck shame.
Growing up, I did not know what queer was, and what freedom it would mean to me to identify as
such.
There was nothing available in my environment that would have informed me, and so I just learned
that I am somehow different. And different is bad, so it must be hidden.
And so I pretended, participated in the demanding body art performance that is being a “woman”.
Till I got so tired, lonely, and sad, that there was no other way than to leave my country and start
anew. Fast forward 10 years, I changed shapes and presentations like a snake changes its skin, I
was bald-head, I was a hard femme, I was a stripper and sex worker, I was an extreme body
artist, I was a bondage bunny, I was an artist, a nude model, a tattooed bad bitch covered in
scars, a pornographer, but mostly I was a person boldly wearing the many identities given to
them.
Queer to me means the absolute, radical freedom to be what you are, without shame and
apologies, to choose the people you want to be with and form a community stronger than
imaginable.
Queer is freedom and it is revolution, and if we wish to survive it is also the future.
Queer is to say NO. NO to the unlivable. NO to the often systematic hatred that prosecutes,
exploits, and threatens the queer, the artist, the immigrant, the differently abled, the dark-skinned
body.
As an artist, a person, a soul, a leopard, I will not follow the rules in life. I will not follow the rules of
art and filmmaking. I will not fit in. I will not obey.
I am a proud and brutal Cunt living life and my art will mirror my experience, which is somewhat
personal, and somewhat universal.
What can I say, EAT ME.
