Praewa Bulthaweenan

A Real Girl

Documentaire | hdv | couleur | 8:25 | Thaïlande, Royaume-Uni | 2018

I began to see the complexity and fluidity of sexuality and gender in my early 20s, as growing up believing in a particular concept of my sexuality and others, I felt stuck to an idea. I wanted to be a boy and aspired that when I’m grown enough to have a job I would begin to save money for a sex change surgery. This film celebrates the transcending and inner self discovery, from there, it simplifies self-acceptance. Reflecting on my upbringing and adolescence memoir, performed by myself presenting with a humour approach.

Bulthaweenan, Praewa ‘Bink’ (Bangkok, August 1995 - present) Attended Manchester School of Arts studied Bachelor in Interactive Arts 2018, previous studies in Media, and Fine Art: Photography at Solihull college. Now based in Manchester, U.K. I work with film, writing, performance, sculptor, and ceramics. I began making short films and moving image since 2013 when I studied Photography. I’m interested in looking at ways of telling stories, ritual movements of bodies and surroundings, and using bodies as an object. My current interests is fantasing about the future that already exists in the present, a world where there are no boundaries of cultural concept.
