Louka Perderizet’s photography is both intimate record and political gesture. Born in Nancy in 1999 and based in Brussels since 2018, he has used the camera as a language for self-recognition, transition and collective care. His work asks what it means for trans people to be seen without being reduced to explanation, spectacle or fetish.

In Garçon assigné fille à la naissance, begun in 2018, Perderizet traces his own life as a trans man through self-portraits, images of relatives and objects. Physical transformation appears alongside psychological states: questioning, pain, uncertainty and the movement towards happiness. In En quête de reconnaissance, he turns towards the romantic and sexual lives of trans people, creating space for stories of fear, desire, tenderness and resistance within a heteronormative society.

For The Queer Museum, Perderizet’s work speaks to the necessity of self-authored images. His photographs do not ask permission to exist; they build a visual archive of trans life from within. Through portraiture, autobiography and activist collaboration, he challenges shame while insisting on beauty, complexity and pride.
