Anatomical Studies of the
Transgender Male Body
[Subject No.1]
“Your bones will always biologically be ____”
“When you die, what will scientists say about your body?”
“You can’t change your biology”
These words have changed both who I am as a person, and forced me to question the way in which I exist in the world. So to navigate these feelings and emotions, I took a very literal approach of looking at the biological pieces of my own body. I took each part - my head, my arms, my legs, etc. - and collaged together a binder of scientific notes, measurements, and images that encapsulated what would be taken away from my existence. Essentially, I acted as though I was a scientist trying to understand their subject.
When looking through this work, I want to know whether or not people feel that they now know who I am, or if I still feel like a stranger. Selfishly, I also want them to ask themselves how their own life/body would be presented in a work like this.
