Alongside the varied program of films, workshops and panels at the 14th Pornfilmfestival Berlin, an art exhibition dealing with sexuality will once again be presented at Moviemento in 2019. This year three artists will present their works on the walls of the cinema.
Cochon de Cauchemar
Cochon de Cauchemar is a dreamy-porn artist. Blowing minds better than dicks!
Involved in the Berlin queer sex-positive scene, they make creative costumes, sets, objects and installations for experimental photo and video projects, in which they often model/perform themselves. They mainly collaborate with artists and alternative pornographers sharing their concern about challenging the dominant consumerist, heterosexist, gender-binary and boring perspective on pornography, bodies and sexualities. Their work deals with their own obsessions, fantasies and anxieties about the human sexed, sexual and gendered body.
Graduated in Fashion and Textile Design, Cochon de Cauchemar deviated from the damn boring route and rather make their odd-kitsch-smut stuff in their freaky atelier to shake people’s conceptions about what pornography can be.

Michelle Gutiérrez Fernández
Michelle Gutierrez has been based in Berlin since 2014 and describes herself as follows: I am a Venezuelan photographer and I work with studio, fashion and Street photography, I’m fascinated by people’s stories and how to explore in her imagery the souls of each face and place I capture, but mostly like to combine elements of portrait and erotica. My aim is to focus on a wide range of body shapes in order to demonstrate beauty in its many forms. I’m inspired by distinct combination of sensuality and sexuality, challenging social norms of widely accepted beauty standards.
