This project couples the subject of the haunted house and the subject of the trans, disabled body as resistant to normative nuclear family structures. Looking with aesthetic structures of layering/transparency, tangling/untangling, and hiding/revealing, the haunting of the domestic space becomes a lens through which to examine gender, visibility, memory, and care. Using my own non-linear experience of selfhood through gender transition, traumatic memory, and physical relationality to space, I attempt to recontextualize uncertainty and mutability as feelings worth embracing. This work consists of a non-linear written essay (this document) and FLICKERS, FRAGMENTS, a multi-media installation mixing old/new and analog/digital methods of creation.
