What is a man and what is a woman? Inspired by the works of transgendered performance artist and author Kate Bornstein, the video piece explores various social misconceptions that construct this very dichotomy. By creating an ambiguity surrounding such issues that are traditionally viewed as pre-determined and fixed, "Thank You kate Bornstein" provokes thought and challenges the spectators’ views on gender and biological sex.
