Porno Movie Estetica," an exhibition on the theme of "The Visual Aesthetics of Porno Movies" by Hitoshi Nagasawa, who has written books on fashion history and culture history, will be held at VACANT in Harajuku.
In conjunction with the publication of Hitoshi Nagasawa's book "The Visual Aesthetics of Pornographic Movies," this exhibition traces the history of erotic films over the past 100 years with various photographs and video materials, and unravels the history of pornographic films in the West, which has rarely been discussed, through talk shows and other events.
The Visual Aesthetics of Porno Movies" (written by Hitoshi Nagasawa, published by Sairyusha)
Camille 2000" (1969)
Dr. Caligari" (1989)
Le parfum de Mathilde" (1994)
The Lickerish Quartet (1971)
It is said to have been invented by the French Lumière brothers in 1895. Pornography began at about the same time as the long history of cinema, and its history is so deep that the first hardcore pornographic film was produced in 1907. The theme of this exhibition, "Visual Aesthetics of Pornographic Movies," traces the transition of the content and filming techniques of pornographic movies that have existed since the early days of film with the keywords "gaze" and "sensuality," along with the epochs of the era, weaves the unknown personal stories of the actresses and directors, and explores the "extended" and "extended" forms of popular customs and body culture that appear in films from their unique perspectives. The film also weaves together the unknown personal stories of the actresses and directors, and from its unique point of view, deciphers the popular customs and body culture as a world image of "extended eroticism.
A variety of masterpieces and oddities filled with sexual yet visual aesthetics. We hope you will visit this rare exhibition, which carries the message that pornography is not only for men, but also for women.
