Description
Trans(per)Forming Nina Arsenault explores the intricate journey of transgendered playwright, performer, columnist, and sex worker Nina Arsenault, who has undergone more than sixty plastic surgeries in pursuit of a feminine beauty ideal. Authored by Judith Rudakoff, this volume brings together a diverse group of contributors, including artists, scholars, and Arsenault herself. It offers an exploration of beauty, image, and the notion of queerness through the lens of Arsenault's highly personal brand of performance art.
Illustrated throughout with photographs of the artist's transformation over the years and demonstrating her diversity of personae, this book deepens our understanding of what it means to be a woman and what it means to be beautiful. As a highlight, the volume includes the full script of Arsenault's critically acclaimed stage play, The Silicone Diaries.
