AHE GAO

“Ahegao” is a Japanese term used to denote an exaggerated facial expression during sex.

Characterized by rolling or crossed eyes, a protruding tongue, and a slightly reddened face, the term combines the onomatopoeia for “pant” (or “moan”) and face, diverting from another common term, ikigao, meaning “coming (i.e. orgasmic) face”.

Ahegao face has become popular in the aesthetics of It-girls and cosplayers to the point of asserting its presence in pornographic imagery.

The 6’06” lenght video eliminates the narrative structure by removing the image from its original use, dilating the performer’s action.
