WHIRL : A Post-Porn Project

2021, during a sex party I organized in Scala Rosa, a new project is born. While the party rages on in the living room, one of the bedrooms is used as a video experimentation room where people can explore connections with each other while being filmed by a discrete camerawoman. As the night advances, more and more people spontaneously expose their love and lust for each other, without any directing. The result is a cinematographic poem, a psychedelic journey into a hidden sexual world, a documentary about a one of a kind sexpositive party, and a love letter to the consent culture.

I organized the party, setup the shooting space, and invited a camera girl with good instinct to do the filming. Afterwards, with hours of chaotic raw images on my lap, I first edited a seven minutes musical structure with some old electronic tunes I created in my younger times, on which I layed the sexy images of the sex-party, resulting in a very rythmic and musical audiovisual object. So do not hesitate to push up the volume a bit and use headphones, this porn is not just visual.

This poetic post-porn movie has been selected and screened at the Brussels Porn Film Festival 2022, and Athens Porn Film Festival 2023.
