2002 [13 min. 21 sec.]
From May 2001 to February 2002, transsexual artist Mirha-Soleil Ross appeared pregnant every time she was in public as part of her 9 month long performance art cycle "The Pregnancy Project". The Pregnancy Project explored transsexual women's relationship to the personal and institutional aspects of motherhood and hoped to foster community discussion around controversial reproductive technologies. This video features Mirha-Soleil performing pregnancy by the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco and an audio recording of her mother speaking about the ups and downs of having a baby.
This and other videotapes by Mirha-Soleil Ross are distributed by V/Tape, Toronto.
