Susanne Sachsse: A Text Concert
If you're not a woman, you're either a man - or you become a problem (Paul B. Preciado).
In an online text concert, Susanne Sachsse presents “testosterone-based, voluntary intoxication protocols“, „body-essay“, „somato-political fiction“, and „a theory of the self, or self-theory“ of Paul B. Preciado.
The taxonomy of sexual and gender difference collapses. A proposal for political resistance and action. Testosterone not to become a man, but to add a "molecular prosthesis" to his transgender body. Transition as a revolutionary act. In the beginning: the dildo. A tool of resistance against the prevailing order: as a machine, it knows neither man nor woman, but only body orifices.
Narratives of transition. The testosterone inspired transformation of one's body and stories of social change. Susanne Sachsse collages Paul B. Preciado’s texts from An Apartment on Uranus, Testo Junkie and Contrasexual Manifesto and presents them in a form of a text concert.
