“15 porns, 2 rapes, 3 assassinations”, 2024

15 porns, 2 rapes, 3 assassinations, changes title every time a new image is added. The video is a collection of images cut from porn, horror, thriller and drama films. Viewing each image in its entirety is difficult due to the cropping and the speed at which the images appear. This makes the video a kind of ‘guessing game’, with each image possibly belonging to one of the three scenarios suggested in the title. This work reflects on the image construction of the female body within the border zone between eroticism, violence and the obliteration of the individual; a construction  reinforced by pop culture and the porn industry.
