Transference is a creative community project culminating over 5 years of artistic research within to present collective knowledge within the trans* and two-spirit community, addressing existential topics of authenticity, freedom, choice, death, freewill, guilt and meaning.
“As an artistic experiment, we conducted countless interviews to explore senses, unexplainable experiences and symbolism within my community to test the limits of communication through the void, imagination to imagination. In these conversations I was tasked as artist/interviewer to translate the personal perspectives, stories and concepts of those I interviewed into visual language.” - Eli Howey -
Transference is the 132 page, full-colour art book cataloguing this process, including artwork, essay transcriptions and critical essays to further delve into the experiment.
“The trans* community is uniquely confronted with false ideas of reality and truths, projections of who we should be, in a society where many forget we can choose differently. The burden of responsibility and consequence of living authentically leaves us with valuable life experience.” - Zanette Singh -
