Kael T Block is a Paris based Photographer, Artist and Queer

XX Boys


I started by taking pictures of my own transition.
'cause it was reassurant.
to see in my pictures what i was seing in my head, what i was seeing
in the mirror when i was looking at me.
To see me become physically the boy i was.
To detail every piece of me that was finally becoming male.
my shoulders, my legs, i could almost see my flesh moving.
Transition is a very intense part of one's life.
it's exitation, and expectations, it's introspection, transformation,
harmony, relieve, pure joy...
And "trans" is a strong and beautiful identity.
What the project about is transboys proud of what they are,
"Man" is not my identity, it's taking away all my revolution and my
transgression, all my decisions, all my identity.
it's not saying everything.
I'm a "transman". and proud of it.
i had a hard time finding a name that was really fitting me. until i
saw Jetson's t-shirt.
xxboy.
it sounded like a gang's name.
it was telling everything in a sexy way.
xxboy.
as sexy as my experience of the transition was.
as sexy as my experience of the transition is.

XXBOYS is a gang of hot transboys, self identified as Trans, as Boy,
and as Hot.
XXBOYS is about the transition, it's about this experience, from the
inside, when you look like a teenager, when you're intense feelings
and expectations.
XXBOYS is this affirmation, this pride, this identity, that comes
through body, and its exposure, and its language, and all that can be
part of a trans body, scars, binding, dildos... its reappropriation
and sensualization, and every one's particular expression of that
identity and sensuality.
