弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫在1928年创作的《奥兰多》,是世界上第一部主角在故事中途转换性别的小说。在一个世纪之后,跨性别作家同时也是哲学家、活动家的保罗·B·普雷西亚多(Paul B. Preciado),决定寄给伍尔夫一封影像信,告诉她她笔下的角色已经走进现实,奥兰多已经遍布世界各地。 普雷西亚多发起了一个试镜活动,召集到了26名8至70岁的当代跨性别与非二元性别人士来扮演奥兰多这个角色。他通过这些真实的声音、著作、理论和影像,重构了自己变性经历的各个阶段。他说,每个奥兰多,都是一个要每天冒着生命危险去生存的跨性别者,因为他们发现自己被迫要去对抗法律、历史和精神病学,还有传统的家庭观念和跨国制药公司的力量。但如果“男性”和“女性”归根结底都是政治和社会的虚构产物,那么这种转变就不再仅关乎性别,也关乎诗歌、爱与肤色。

Imagine what it would feel like to be the only black television star in Hollywood at a time when the KLU KLUX KLAN acted out violently against black people, when America groaned under the weight of segregation and prejudice. Imagine being in possession of a natural talent so great, so unique and disarming that these issues were seemingly swept to one side to allow you to perfor...
