Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Robyn Adams sourced audio from Ed Wood's infamous 1953 film Glenn or Glenda, one of the first sympathetic (if clumsy) portrayals of trans identity.
The film operates in dialogue with 'time-lapse transition videos' that circulated on early YouTube — but Adams controls her own frame, her own archive, her own legacy.
