Interstices

Terre Thaemlitz’ video “Interstices” (2001) visually expands audio fragments from the 2000 album of the same name, candidly investigating the interstices between genders, sexual orientations, and other identity constructs. Intersexual birth, surgical gender reassignment, sex acts, and transsexual job opportunities are among the topics processed through filters of private and public expectation.
