KAKAIBANG EBA (2004-2005), or literally 'another sort of Eve', shows a number of the most famous transvestites of The Philippines. They have their own cabaret show, the Amazing Philippine Show, in which they tempt and provoke the public with their feminine mannerisms and enticing self-made costumes. And with success. The two-day performances are invariable sold out. The actors also live as women outside of the performance. Although The Philippines is a strongly Catholic country, the society has absolutely no problem with these flamboyant homosexuals. There is even considerable respect for their extravagant lifestyle, full of feather boas, whisky and lipstick.

Federica Palmarin (Italy, b. 1977) photographs and makes videos. Among her clients are Pirelli, Benneton, Vogue and La Stampa, She focuses particularly on our contemporary fascinations with religion, sex, soccer, status, music and fashion.
