Focus

Water is the connecting element in this erotic mix of images of nature and explicit sex. It drips, flows and splashes. Fish swim through the video where human bodies indulge in sexual pleasure. Using the technical possibilities available at that time, Shu Lea Cheang brings together form and content in a rapturous, pornographic and poetic vignette.
