synopses: “Cracks in civilized landscapes” is a Lesbian-porn-feminist-video-poetry-performance manifest about architecture, that literally fucks all kind of institutions… “Cracks in civilized landscapes” is an experimental-video-performance that challenges architecture as a patriarchal authority. Filming ourselves in the process of fucking in a church, a mosque, a castle, a museum, a bank and other monuments, we try to deconstruct their sacred, heroic and sexist dimension. It is a subversive attempt of desecration. We infiltrate these buildings to decipher the oppressive power beyond their formal aspect. The pornographic aspect of the work tends to destroy gender. We use sex as a revolutionary process and metamorphosis. The film is punctuated by an abstract poem, which recalls how language generates gender. This work was created with a lot of humor.It is in French and Portuguese with subtitles in English
