Barflies

A
three-screen video installation that offers representations of the different
investments in femininities embodied by Transvestites/Cross dressers: the
pleasures, fears and dangers of being in public ‘en femme’ and the particular
dialectic relationship they have with the heterosexual male. Unedited and
filmed in real bars, pubs and clubs in real-time, Barflies follows the adventures of three distinct characteristics
of feminine identities. Surveillance footage of each and the interactions they
encounter reveal our perceptions, excitements and fears about indefinite gender
identities.

Free entry.
