LE CHIFFRE 2

Lucien Pin & Alex Haugmard / Thibault ELIE / France

The Number 2 is a self-portrait exploring the various facets of transidentity through the immersive and interactive exploration of a trans body in four self-portractive sequences. In the XR installation version, the VR experience will be filmed and broadcast live on a monitor/wall projection for spectators/non-players.

I’m a 26-year-old trans man. Yet, the female gender is still all over my papers: the letter “F” for female is still written on my identity card, as is the number “2” at the beginning of my national insurance number.

Everywhere I go, people still think I’m a woman, as my papers suggest. The number 2 is the gender I’m assigned, and it appears everywhere in my life, but it’s not me.

Today, to share my experience and combat transphobia, I want the audience to be able to come and meet me, to encounter my body and my intimate struggle.

The journey will be made up of four sequences that will form different dimensions of this self-portrait.

MY TRANS BODY
The first sequence will explore my journey of transition through a discovery of my body in its entirety.

DIVING INTO THE BODY
The second sequence will delve into what is found inside the body, from the skin to the bones to the muscles, to contradict the transphobic theory that our genders assigned at birth are recognizable through our bones (which is false and which anthropologists also deny).

FROM BODY TO CELL
The third panel will consist of a microscopic discovery of so-called female cells (ova, mammary glands) as well as skin.

LIMBS OF TRANSPHOBIA
Finally, the fourth sequence will be a journey through the world of transphobia as I imagine it, a desert world where the body must dance to free itself.

All these sequences will be playable with variable degrees of interactivity. These four interactive sequences are a way of meeting others, discovering their bodies and flesh, and showing that I am not a monster, but human.
