Binary Reflections. Part 01: One or two thoughts on incompleteness
Marion Porten
A crowd of people gather around the famous marble sculpture Hermaphrodite endormi in the Louvre in Paris. Categorising remarks and explanations about gender constructions can be heard. Standing next to the sculpture, Marion Porten tells a personal story from her childhood. At the same time, we see the Fluffy Pink Block Drummers protest against homophobia, sexism, racism and classism.
