It's time to change your idea of the porn industry

Erika Last's XConfessions series of erotic films claims to become more than just a "stereotypical porn cheapie". Just like the posters for them, which are far from hundreds of standard GIF banners, where the cropped frame of making love looks more like an epileptic convulsion.

Posters for Erica's films are thoughtful shots that could well become an advertisement for the Sundance Film Festival. The shots are beautiful, you want to watch them almost more than the films themselves. They don't look like the flashy vulgar images that are most often associated with porn. The posters are not at all like those made for the films of Gaspard Noe or Lars von Trier, they are more frank. At the same time, they managed to display a real aesthetic, which, it seems, is not inherent in films about sex at all.

For Erika Last, pornography is more art than business: "Artistic pornography goes far beyond the setting: designer furniture, violins, wine glasses, golden masks and vanilla sex (for BDSM practitioners, "vanilla sex" means unremarkable sexual intercourse, without whips, handcuffs and other attributes. — Ed.)".

Interest in avant-garde pornography is increasing today. On the project's website you will not find typical short films about the embodiment of sexual fantasies. Each film is a story about a character, a situation, fetishes and a variety of ways of having sex.
