Extract from ᶈenetralia
ᶈenetralia is the story of a woman whose memory of an early sexual encounter with a jacuzzi is triggered when she moves into a flat that is above an all-male sauna, a popular underground hookup spot in her neighbourhood. Heat, sounds and condensation from the sauna seep into the flat, causing her to birth a swarm of fishing lures.
The exhibition took place at Peach, Rotterdam in March 2018. Special thanks to Miša Skalskis for sound design and contributions to the cinematography, and to Pleun Gremmen for acting.
