STO Union & Carte Blanche

P.O.R.N. (Portrait of Restless Narcissism)

Part of the festival “Spy on Me #2”

Duration ca. 60 Min.

Language English 

As the natural world burns, many retreat to digital landscapes. Nadia Ross (STO Union) and Christian Lapointe (Carte Blanche) created a searing portrait of the objectification of our contemporary relationships. The production uses the digital tools available online to create a live split-screen, behind which two isolated protagonists sit like VJs at their stations, running the show. Through instant messages, images, texts, emoticons, videos and music they meet online, interact, then hook up. In an intricate interplay of reality and fiction, the pair reach porn’s dead end in isolation.
