Kim Miles: Inchoate couplings

Kim Miles is an LGBTQ+ Australian underground filmmaker who created a substantial body of work unique in its appropriation of cinematic form and style in the early 2000s. With her focus on temporal shifts, hyper-saturation, repetition and music, Miles’s work exemplifies a punk attitude to normative modes of cinematic and embodied forms. Reappropriating formal incoherence, Miles creates a trans aesthetic that expands short film form and shows the inchoateness of binary gender relationships.
