NYX-POST-PORN

"NYX-POST-PORN" is an audiovisual work that explores the relationship between body, camera, and aesthetics within the context of post-pornography. The film deconstructs the objectification of the female body and proposes a new sensory and ethical approach to visual pleasure. By capturing fragments of the body in performance, the project challenges the boundaries of the gaze and offers an immersive experience of self-discovery and bodily expansion, proposing a new paradigm of spectatorship in contemporary cinema.

Director Statement

The "NYX-POST-PORN" project proposes a disruptive reflection on the relationship between the body, the camera, and aesthetic ethics within the context of post-pornography. The work seeks to deconstruct traditional conventions of pornography, particularly regarding female objectification and scopophilic pleasure. Through bodily performativity, its fragmented and sensory narrative challenges the viewer to rethink their relationship with the filmed body—through corporeal landscapes—emphasizing a form of pleasure that transcends voyeurism. Employing a poetic language and ethereal aesthetics, the project explores female sexuality with nuances of empowerment and self-exploration, while subverting the visual domination established in traditional cinema. The performance, captured as a dance between the body and the camera, questions normative structures of audiovisual pleasure, unveiling the complexity of the expanded body and the subjectivity of pleasure.
