Aperture 234: Orlando

Virginia Woolf 's 1928 novel Orlando tells the story of a young nobleman who mysteriously shifts gender, and lives on for 3 centuries without aging. Today, Orlando remains startlingly fresh for its playful imagining of gender fluidity. In 1992, filmmaker Sally Potter released an adaptation of the book with Tilda Swinton carrying the film as Orlando. This special issue of Aperture magazine, guest edited by Swinton, will draw upon the themes of the novel -gender, indeterminate space, and the passage of time.
