TRANS-FORMATIONS

Description:
Trans Formations exposes the elemental forms of a performative gesture orchestrated between gender, identity, and theatricality. For this series Attard employed artists from Greensboro to style models as a means of transformation from one pole to the other. The performance, however, cannot be located in a singular frame or a single element of style, but instead is composed of the movements between frames and between identities. Attard’s images of men turning into women and women into men explore a gendered and sexed performance of styles, composed as much of gestures, costumes, make-up, and hair-cuts as they are of the perceived characteristic of masculinity and femininity that emerge in each portrait. The studio as a lab is evident in this work. The lack of any other information in the photograph except what is literally on the faces and bodies of the subjects allows the process of transformation to be revealed in as matter of fact a manor as is possible. The video of this series shows another dimension still. The process becomes a training moment, a moment where cultural information is passed from one steeped in it to a group of novitiates at different points of entre into that culture. In this way the hair and makeup artists become teachers, if only for an instant, one day for a few hours. The plucking of brows, the jerking of scalps and pulling of hairs, the shaving of legs, all with strategies and design, all for a reason. The video reveals the relationship between thesis, antithesis and synthesis and all of the negotiations that are carried out between them. Man becomes woman through a series of negotiable aesthetic decisions, this is how the synthesis is achieved, it’s a political moment that must be driven by aesthetics.
