My Structuralist Film
Angelo Madsen
Documentary, Experimental : 6' / Bodies, Essay, Trans, Explicit Content

Set up as a confessional-cum-guided meditation, “My Structuralist Film” uses performance artist Tehching Hsieh's “One Year Performance (Time Clock Piece)” as a framework to illustrate the filmmaker's (presumable) insides. How thoroughly should a trans body want or need to be visible? On what terms is the filmmaker obligated to narrativize, perform, or even fabricate visibility for the sake of an audience? Considering the limits and limitations of disclosure, this project positions the act of looking not as an offering or an exchange, but as an unyielding neoliberal craving to consume.
