    Abstract
    This exegesis utilises writer Rebekah Edwards’ definition of ‘trans-poetics’ as a methodology for the creation of performative and moving image artworks. The linguistic categories within transpoetics are transcribed through a creative practice, valuing language for its multiplicity, ambiguity and limitations. The projects outlined in this exegesis focus on queer and trans histories lifted from archival documentation. Trans-poetics are employed to circumvent and rearticulate the problematic legacy of queer and trans representation. The aim of this research is to utilise and push beyond the established oeuvre of queer autoethnographic work. To take the waters (2017) and Hardening (2017) are two moving image works formed in response to the life and events surrounding the internment of Hjelmar Von Danneville on Matiu Somes Island in 1917. As works of significance, they are clear distillations of modes and methods of transpoetics used in response to narratives within historical material.
