OB SCENAOB SCENE
Paloma Orlandini Castro
“A uterus, two fallopian tubes, an ovary”. A table,
a pair of black, latex gloves, a sexology manual
and a black box. Like a porn researcher, Paloma
Orlandini Castro offers us an essay on sexuality:
a quasi-scientific device with the invention of
a cunning box which analyses pornographic
images. While her hands manipulate diagrams
and drawings her voice recounts the stand-out
moments of her sexual journey and dissects
the classifications and violence of current
mainstream porn imagery. Ob Scena: obscene
or opposite the stage. In the end, by exposing
herself during rehearsals for a performance,
facing the audience, Paloma Orlandini Castro
manages to find a kind of liberation.
