“Transatlantique,” a musical reading by Camille Corcéjoli

As part of the exhibition Elastic Bodies , the Institut pour la photographie welcomes Camille Corcéjoli for a musical reading of *Transatlantique*. Echoing the exhibition’s themes, this performance explores the body’s transformations, moments of transition, and the stories that accompany them.

There will be time for discussion and book signings after the reading.

“Alex takes his lifelong friends—Louise, Djo, and Harli—on a road trip across the United States. Their destination: the West Lake Hills clinic, which he has chosen to have his breasts removed. From Texas queer bars to the roller coasters of Brooklyn, this musical narrative plunges us into the day-to-day life of this journey and into the story of Alex’s transition. A joyful and turbulent journey across gender and the Atlantic, where humor and the unexpected challenge the reality of transphobic violence.”

Camille Corcéjoli was born in 1987 and lives in Lille. He is an author, teacher, and researcher in the social sciences. His work explores the personal sphere to examine issues of feminism, gender, and sexuality. Transatlantic is his first novel.
