Na Espera 2018

Another stone thrown against the walls that protect the Babylonian, the core of the civilized world where, in the midst of so much law and methodology, the infernal chaos of rush reigns to which each of us must submit to fulfill the duties of society. Confusion, running, greed, pollution, loneliness, injustice, war. In short, "there will always be a city in all of us," sings Fernando Fernandes in "Na Espera", a dub theme that almost requires a slow and urgent pace around a soundsystem. A protest on any street in Kingston. The video of the author Miguel D'Almeida, with the help of the artist of Crate Records, is the final auction of Pruridades.

Water Mirror 2022 ( 1)

This is not a porn film. This is not LA. In this film the protagonist ( Rowland ) emerges from the sea almost as primal man. He is Ecosexual, he transforms himself into a clay living sculpture, he becomes a 70’s movie character and at the end he returns to the sea. It presents the male body as erotic object and as thinking, feeling subject. This is a poetic film about water. Water is represented as a cleansing element; as a substance that restores man to his original form. Water as a nurturing element; as a substance that can hold the entirety of a man’s weight. In this film water is an element that is distinct from man: feminine, fluid, translucent. The hardness of a man’s cock, the strength of a man’s body, the power of a man’s ejaculation are made even more masculine in the presence of water.
