Have You Ever Seen A Transsexual Before?
2010, 4 minutes, Color (DV)
Eisner Prize for Film & Video, Honorable Mention
Have You Ever Seen A Transsexual Before? is both a document of a live performance in the alienating “real world” and a fantastical adventure into another world of queer likeness and identification. The first half of the video records a guerilla performance, and through repetition, becomes a declaration and a campaign for Female-To-Male (FTM) transsexual visibility. When the campaign proves futile I enter a magical animated world where I observe and am greeted by colorful and flamboyant wildlife. Dedicated to friend Sam Lopes.
