Abstract
This article discusses a series of figurations linked to the image of the mermaid reflected in some works, performances and reflections of the trans-feminist artist Effy Beth (1988- 2014). These figurations realize the work of make itself a body (that matters), a trans body for the artist, with which constitute existential territory. The notion of monster (gr. teratos) is appropriate for the trans artistic practices but also is explored in the reflections of contemporary philosophy. Thus it becomes a lens to observe processes of mutation in social, political, subjective and aesthetic fields.
