Seeking Participants: Photo Project on Transphobia & Gender Baiting
Quote:
“A Series of Questions” is a photo project exploring the power dynamics inherent in the questions asked of transgender, transsexual, genderqueer, gender-variant, and/or gender non-conforming people. Participants are photographed holding a sign upon which is written a question they have been asked. The questions are then turned on the viewer, shifting the dynamics under which they were originally asked, forming a larger series of questions which many of the people photographed face as a part of their daily lives.
Many documentary photographic works dealing with trans issues and gender exploit the genders of these subjects, pointing to an “otherness” or inappropriately exoticizing; this body of work seeks to instead point to the transphobia and gender-baiting that can become part of everyday interactions and lives, forming a more full picture of the various lived experiences.
