About the work
Gender issues such as intersex, queer, trans, are in the news every day. Fully content with your own gender, it's easy not to worry about it, but I asked myself if this isn't too easy a thought. What are my blind spots in this, my prejudices? What are real feminine or masculine characteristics for me, and why, what are they based on? Sophia is a model, born ambivalent, raised as boy Harrison but decided years ago to live on as a woman and tries to earn money for sex surgery with modeling. What's it like to be Sophia?
