The Source is a Hole poses a web of loose connections and liminal associations to sculpt a treatise on transexual mourning. As a series of love letters, stories recount the authors own inception at the 1982 world’s fair, his attempt to remove a lodged tampon, his cravings for bottomless eros, and a barrage of tangential encounters, spanning the everyday, to performance reenactment, to science fiction cinema analysis and drag. Weaving a tangle of footage - canonical sci-fi, new queer cinema, esoteric pornography, animation, and a reenactment of Bas Jan Ader's performance “I’m Too Sad To Tell You” - the narration contemplates holes upon holes upon holes.
