"INTERSTICES n (pl.) small gaps or spaces between objects"
『インタースティシーズ:(名詞)隙間』

There's "no experience required" to enjoy INTERSTICES' "easier" format. TERRE THAEMLITZ adapts selected music, text and images from his CD INTERSTICES (MILLE PLATEAUX, 2000 MP94 [discontinued]) into a video that makes reading fun. Candidly investigate the interstices between genders, sexual orientations, and other identity constructs. intersexual birth, surgical gender reassignment, sex acts, and transsexual job opportunities are among the topics processed through filters of private and public expectation. Featuring the titles (in alphabetical order):
インタースティシーズの“easier(より簡単な)”フォーマットを楽しむには“no experience required(経験不問)”。テーリ・テムリッツはアルバム『インタースティシーズ』[ミル・プラトー、2000年、MP94]から音楽・テキスト・映像を厳選し、読んで楽しむビデオを編集。このビデオを作るにあたって、テムリッツは様々なジェンダー、様々な性的位置付け、アイデンティティーを決定するその他の様々な要素の隙間に存在するものを率直に調査している。両性具有、外科手術によって仕切り直すジェンダー、性行為、性転換者に振り分けられている仕事の種類などのトピックスを、私的また公的な期待というフィルターを通した形で、取り上げている。取り上げているタイトルは以下の通り(アルファベット順):

ENTRE L'ACTION ET LE DEUIL.005

「自ら進んで外科手術を受けることによってずっと変化中の状態を保てるのか、と彼女は尋ねた」

"jobs available... inquire within"
「仕事あります……御用の方は中へどうぞ」

SYSTOLE.011
"she sought to occupy the gaps between black and white... but an image gradually took form in the greys between"
「彼女は黒と白の間の隙間を埋める術を探した…… しかしイメージは中間の灰色のグラデーションと化した」

THERE WAS A GIRL/THERE WAS A BOY.ANALSEX
"i don't want to hurt you... i want you to feel good"
「痛くしない……気持ちよくさせたいだけ」

THERE WAS A GIRL/THERE WAS A BOY.DECLAMATION
"there was a girl... there was a boy"
「女の子がいた……男の子がいた」

THERE WAS A GIRL/THERE WAS A BOY.INTERSEX

Deemed "too ambient for broadcast" by MTV's AMP, Thaemlitz' first video "Silent Passability (Ride to the Countryside)" contrasts cinematic footage from drag performances in upstate New York with highly processed digital audio from his CD "Couture Cosmetique" (US: Caipirinha/Japan: Daisyworld [discontinued]). Thaemlitz is known for his fusion of computer synthesis techniques with non-essentialist transgenderism as two methodoligies which appropriate and critically recontextualize cultural signifiers, whether they be audio sources or gender constructs. The audio for "Silent Passability" deals with fears of violence while travelling in 'passable' drag between safe zones, and Thaemlitz' unsettling compulsion to remain silent in such circumstances so as to avoid confrontation. Antithetically beatific images from the transgendered stage question posturing as a means for alieviating and/or concealing such oppressive circumstances.
