body interview
is a project about the chest surgery of the artist. three days before and six weeks after the operation he answers seven questions about the/his body/bodies while standing bare-chested in front of the camera. the camera hereby becomes an amplifier for the effects of self and social re-cognition. Both videos are brought together in a split-screen-presentation. Subtle mutilations of the movements are applied. The audio track is removed with the exception of only a few sentences. The focus is on the body/bodies. The Transgenders history is told in a non-linear approach. A physical dialog with the self over the timeframe of transformation.
