Homme-Sick

Julian Konuk

15 min

English

UK

“Homme-Sick” is a short, experimental film in which time itself becomes unhinged and deconstructed; the past and present merge together to create a new kind of temporality that is not predicated upon ridgid, linear, and formalistic impulses within narrative filmmaking. Made up almost entirely of archival footage - both found and from the artist’s own family archive - this film questions the relationships between toxic masculinity, family, the home, and transness, thus creating precarious spaces in which the voyeuristic impulses of the viewer are toyed with. The utilisation of the artist’s own memories and experiences of girlhood and boyhood, as seen through a queer lens, becomes a tool to expand the possibilities of archiving trans bodies. Through its experimental approach to sound and image, “Homme-Sick” extends an invitation to navigate the digital abyss—not necessarily as a space of loss, but as one of potential transformation. Ultimately, the film meditates on what it means to exist in a state of perpetual transition, where home is neither a fixed place nor a stable identity, but rather an ongoing act of becoming.
