Bang Click Bang
HardWerk: Paulita Pappel & Rod Wyler, Germany, 2021, 16’37
Inspired by the sexploitation films of Russ Meyers and Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blow Up (1966), HardWerk’s latest gang bang is a slow burning subversion of cinematic tropes that finds the carnal in the camp and the sumptuous in the sleaze. For her first ever gang bang and first facial on film, lead performer Maria Riot and the filmmakers reimagined the figure of the bossy (and generally male) photographer with a much-needed shift on the gender axis, so allowing Maria to take the lead in quite literally staging her own fantasy. Here, the line between object, subject and artist can become blurred; men in all their exaggerated machismo can become eager playthings, and the directive cannot go unheeded: look at me.
Performers:
Bishop Black, Hunter S. Johnson, Kinky Panda, Maria Riot, Noir So, Rod Hardick, Roman Raw
Cum as you are
Hanna Schaich, Germany, 2022, 12’28
Anyone who suspects a zeitgeist-inherent statement on identity politics behind the imperative of the title thinks too small. You will be overrun by a declaration of force of what is (primeval) female, which is clinking with strength.
Hanna Schaich's piece is, typical for her, rooted in the autobiographical. She radically raises her voice and gets others who are angry to join her own anger. Together they show how sex can be felt with all senses, naturally with body and mind. All scenes are carried by poetry that sounds like the threat of a new world order, accompanied by metallic-raw music.
Yelled at as a spectators we are asked to explore thought rooms and possibilities of different futures
What if in supposedly individually experienced mental and physical wounds lies the collective energy for resistance?
What if we squirt, dance, eat, whip away a society cramped in shame and norms? Or even abolish it?
What if the anger of all fighters, who live in existing and past patriarchal structures, who had to endure them, who suffered from them or have come to death by them, what if that anger became an overwhelming, transforming energy turning us into freed, unadjusted and loud people, ready for a positive change? Then we fight for uncompromised being. For love freed from shame. For life as it could be. Alive orgiastically.
