Variation FQ (2013)
Overview
The 16mm film from the installation exhibition by the same name that presents the transgender voguer, Leiomy Maldonado, within the stark, black and white aesthetics of an experimental 1960’s ballet film. Using sharp black and white contrast, step-and-repeat optical effects, slow motion, and an original soundtrack composed by Shaw, the film amplifies the unique, cathartic movements of the protagonist's dance, both eloquent and violent. Variation FQ is a study of the co-evolution of subculture, gender, dance, and special effects.
