Destricted

Aroview: A challenging – though some may argue, laughable – exercise in reclaiming the pornographic film, this omnibus commissions seven artists to each deliver a ‘cerebral’ erotic work as they see fit.

The carte blanche brief turns in an understandably eclectic range of responses, from the hideous (Gaspar Noe), to the hysterical (Matthew Barney, Sam Taylor-Wood), to the surprisingly affecting (Larry Clark).

Short Films (in order of appearance):
- 'Hoist' (Matthew Barney)
- 'Balkan Erotic Epic' (Marina Abramovic)
- 'House Call' (Richard Prince)
- 'Impaled' (Larry Clark)
- 'Sync' (Marco Brambilla)
- 'Death Valley' (Sam Taylor-Wood)
- 'We fuck alone' (Gaspar Noe)
