Sexwriting seminar: Texts for moaning pictures

The workshop is given by: Ona Bros, Lucía Egaña and Francesc Ruiz (Instituto de Estudios del Porno)

The Instituto de Estudios del Porno (IEP) proposes a four-day workshop dedicated to the analysis and exploration of various audiovisual materials selected from the public call to form part of the Hammock catalogue, “Imagen pornográfica”. This is a series of between five and ten videos that approach the pornographic image from different perspectives and techniques within the context of audiovisual artistic production.

Through these sessions, the aim is to collectively elaborate a series of critical analyses that put the selected audiovisual productions in tension and context. To this end, the Institute of Porn Studies will provide a series of critical, visual, political and conceptual tools so that workshop participants can develop crossovers and relationships between the videos. The idea is to be able to collectively and individually develop these analyses by understanding the importance of situated and embodied analysis of the materials. As the Institute is a space that is interested in the multiplicity of registers, the results of this workshop can be materialized in very different ways.

The training proposal ends with a public screening where, in addition to viewing the videos, some of the ideas developed within the framework of the workshop will be shared. Each participant will be able to develop a more extensive text after the training. This proposal will be part of the new cycle of screenings that inaugurates Hamaca: Videos a la fresca.
