Paul B. Preciado says “Trans bodies [...] though living, speak in languages unknown to the colonizer, they have dreams psychoanalysts are unaware of”. Through creation, the artist does a live performance of synthesizing a “woman” who is a reflection of their past self. Not only is this film technically using many tools and machines, it draws a parallel with the trans body and how our bodies are tools of equipment - tools to guard us, tools to help us “pass”, tools towards euphoria, discovery and experimentation.
This film is currently in festivals and will premier shortly here
