O habeas corpus é um remédio
constitucional destinado a proteger a
liberdade de locomoção contra prisões ou
restrições ilegais, podendo ser impetrado
por qualquer pessoa e sem formalidades
específicas. A obra Habeas Corpus na
Cueca desloca esse instrumento jurídico
para o campo da intimidade do corpo,
transformando a petição em um artefato
íntimo e performático. Afinal, um habeas
corpus pode ser impetrado até mesmo na
cueca, desde que devidamente assinado.
Habeas corpus is a constitutional remedy intended to protect freedom of movement against unlawful arrest or restrictions, and may be filed by anyone without specific formal requirements. The work Habeas Corpus in Underwear displaces this legal instrument into the sphere of bodily intimacy, transforming the petition into an intimate and performative artifact. After all, a habeas corpus petition may be filed even in one’s underwear, as long as it is properly signed.
