The Little Death

  • Photographer

    Silver Winner in Fine Art/Erotism

The Little Death started as a question on how sex and women‘s pleasure are represented in porn films, dictated by men and the male audience. It explores in different perspective some aspects that are shown in porn videos repeatedly in the same way: body positions, face expressions and camera frames. During the process of photographing real couples I decided to bring the aspect of memory to the project, uniting the idea of sex, past and relationships. Dreamy, blurred, fragmented, erased memories. The Little Death is also the representation of unfulfilled desires and fantasies from the past.
