Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the autobiographical film Orchids. My Intersex Adventure by an Australian filmmaker who was born as an intersex person. The text begins with the explanation of the symbolism of the orchid, which appears in the title and in many frames of Phoebe Hart’s movie. The film and critical texts are presented as examples of the dynamically developing concept of posthuman sexuality. The process of making this documentary film is considered in terms of an autotherapeutic journey.
