Triburgo’s Transportraits series invites viewers to reconsider standard assumptions about gender. The artist paints and then places his subjects before backdrops reminiscent of grand nineteenth-century landscape paintings, encouraging the consideration of photographic artifice. The backdrops, poses, and camera angle serve to heroicize individuals whose reshaped physical and sexual identities push against traditional modes of gender assignment.
