As I Belong to My Life

Sarah Bliss
Documentary : 4' / Portrait, Bodies, Elder, Trans

Part of a series of work exploring the ways older bodies and psyches engage Eros, gender, creativity, sexuality, and desire. In a culture in which aging bodies are assumed to be sexless and considered neutered, what does it look and feel like to reclaim our erotic power? How do we navigate and grow from the loss of power, ability, vitality, and each other, and how do we grow from that experience?

* Screens as part of the "Curtas 1" programme.
