During her initial 2002 study abroad in Prague and investigation of the aftermath of the Holocaust in the town of Terezin, Kantor documented the transformation of a local Terezin man named Roman into female form at the hands of the artists he regularly invited to do his makeup and hair. Not comfortable expressing his gender identity as a trans woman in everyday life, Roman found safety in the artistic process at the hands of the M.E.C.C.A. (Middle European Colony of Contemporary Arts) collective, connecting to his self-proclaimed reincarnation of a victim from the Terezin concentration camp. Kantor documented the ritual, continuing her practice of capturing life backstage as she had done in theatre and dance.
