Brice Dellsperger
Since 1995, Brice Dellsperger has been working on remakes of sequences from cult films, which he has brought together under the generic title of Body Double.
The doubling of the actor or actress embodying all the characters, both female and male, implies cross-dressing and a questioning of gender, originality and artifice.
‘The transvestites in my films are fantastic creatures, the kind I'd like to meet more often in everyday life. Cinema uses costume in all its forms, and it is itself a travesty of reality in its act of reproduction, in the illusion it generates. Cinema is an artifice, so it's the perfect receptacle for my experiments in cross-dressing and gender play. I see it as an extension of the realm of film, a doubling of fiction. - Brice Dellsperger
