sucking all the knobs in the house I grew up in
“If a knob is a shiny thing at the threshold(ing) of here and not here, see how it feels to have one settle on your tongue, and then: suck.”
Overview
Following a year of bereavement and convalescence in her childhood home, Biogal returns to the site in an attempt to summon psychosexual phantoms of a grieved body (or bodies) from familial space. Haunted both by the loss of a lover, and by the pubescent source of transsexuality, 'sucking all the knobs in the house I grew up in' was filmed surreptitiously on her family’s old MiniDV camcorder, whilst both parents were blissfully unaware, out-of-frame, still in the home. If a knob is a shiny thing at the threshold(ing) of here and not here, see how it feels to have one settle on your tongue, and then: suck.
