Synopsis

Made up almost entirely of archival footage - both found and from the artist’s own family archive - this film questions the relationships between toxic white masculinity, family, the home, and transness, thus creating precarious spaces in which the voyeuristic impulses of the viewer are toyed with. The utilisation of the artist’s own memories and experiences of girlhood and boyhood, as seen through a queer lens, becomes a tool to expand the possibilities of archiving trans bodies. With no regard to chronology and completely lacking in any form or resolution, Homme-Sick, then, attempts to queer the entire notion of the archive, and ultimately of genre itself.
