SEXTRAORDINARY
Art Performance - Berlin, Germany - 2019 - Photography Series №01 of Phanlert SRIPROM starring as Eda. Documented by Adam Broomberg. Name shapes you - EDA means Rebirth. As Buddhists, we believe you are reborn again when you ordain to become a monk. But as trans, we won’t be obliged to this ritual. I create the virtual ordinated rituality - dressing up your soul and meditating your mind.
JESUISEDA Ordination Ceremony celebrates individuality. It says about my personal journey in the landscape of fashion, physically and mentally. As the forces become so influential on me. I doubt that you can decide who you want to be. What do you want to be called? How I can make it? I am urged to do this matter not only at the surface level but deeper into my spirituality and the most generic idea that comes to me is to be ordained. As Buddhists, we believe that you can be born again as a monk. You’ll be honored at the highest level of the society, a holy person. But as a transsexual, I won’t be obliged to the ceremony.
