Merel Noorlander’s pornographic play-paradise does not only entertain, it also confronts the problems of our generation in its search for the erotic. She offers a pro-feminist view on sexuality and interweaves porn, sexuality, intimacy and contemporary objects in new erotic settings that fold, squirt, suck and drip.
Photographer Sevilay Maria van Dorst has a keen eye for authentic faces and bold characters, often intimately documenting sensual shapes and gestures in her work. Using a Hasselblad camera or the Wet Plate Collodion technique, she merges analog practices with hyper-current culture.
Wannes Verhees shows some of his special design objects as the comfichair and pineapple table, in combination with the installations of Merel Noorlander.
PROGRAM
The performers presenting new techniques and perspectives on erotics, porn and feminism. Both are admired for their powerful performances, visionary concepts and endurance in movement, programmed by Merel Noorlander and Sevilay Maria van Dorst.
Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti – Binary Cueca
Ibelisse takes a popular Bolivian folk dance as the starting point to unravel the relation between the body, dance and the (digital) information we derive from sexuality through modern media.
Denise Verschut – Being seen x not being seen
A short performance by Denise Verschut and co-partner about the duality of wanting to be seen, but at the same time feeling like a doll in a zoo.
