YOLT explores two artists’ lives before and after transitions: from female to male, and from near-dead to alive.

The book is constructed as a series of conversations between filmmaker Mike Hoolboom and moving-image artist Chase Joynt. Hoolboom was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in the 80s and would have died if not for the introduction of the 'cocktail' therapy in 1995. Chase Joynt is a transgender individual (female-to-male). The book's title refers to the notion that they are both currently living 'second lives.' Mike and Chase have a fascinating dynamic and will perform the book well in public. They'll also produce a high-quality book trailer and investigate other moving-image strategies to promote the book.

YOLT is true fiction, part of the auto-genre wave that includes the diary crypts of Knausgaard, the friendship recordings of Sheila Heti and the theory-fiction of Maggie Nelson and Chris Krauss.

High-profile trans people (Caitlyn Jenner, Laverne Cox, Chaz Bono) have put the trans experience and transgender cultural production in the spotlight recently. YOLT offers an intersectional perspective and an embodied experience of our post-biopolitical world.

Seeking blurbs from Maggie Nelson, Lana Wachowski and Michelle Tea.

The conversation is framed through the life and work of filmmaker Chris Marker (La Jetée, the inspiration for the film 12 Monkeys).

Mike Hoolboom: Mike Hoolboom is an author and filmmaker based in Toronto. He has written four books, received more than thirty international prizes, and enjoyed nine international retrospectives of his work. Chase Joynt: Chase Joynt is a Toronto-based moving-image artist and writer who has exhibited his work internationally. He recently received a Mellon Fellowship in Arts Practice and Scholarship at the University of Chicago.
