DEAR INTERLOCUTOR: TX-1 takes the TX-1 project as the starting point for a series of epistolary meditations on alienness, rural life, what we desire from space travel, and queer futurities. Presented as a three-channel video, the piece includes footage shot at and around Kennedy Space Center in Florida, in the US, excerpts from documentation of my performances, family archival video, and clips from science fiction film and television. The juxtaposition of the channels allows for non-linear temporal relationships between future, past, and present to be drawn out, a key element of the transfeminine experience. A screener version of the piece can be viewed upon request.
