This Is How It Feels
This Is How It Feels explores the intimate stories of eighteen transgender men and their journeys of transition from female-to-male. Holcombe uses new media art techniques, including augmented reality, to give audience members a glimpse of the FTM transgender experience through their own perspective. The exhibition features manipulated QR (quick-response) codes that explore the relationship between the lived experiences of the transgender man and the fabricated world of social media. These codes, in turn, ask audience members to participate in a new context of social media, both inside and out of the gallery space.
Holden Holcombe received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Emerson College (2012) and his Master of Fine Arts from Tufts University (2015), and his PhD from Aberystwyth University (2019). Holcombe’s practice focuses on the place of the transgender man in respect to self, society, and perceived heteronormativity. Holcombe has exhibited his work internationally in the United States, United Kingdom and Korea using a variety of media, including video, animation, sound and experimental music. He is continuously conducting research on the impact of masculine gender role stress in transgender men and the position of transgender voices in contemporary art practice.
