True Inversions

Lorna Boschman

1992, 24:00 minutes, colour

TAPECODE 098.06

True Inversions creates its own dialectic on lesbian erotica while focusing on the differences between passions performed on and off camera, legal, social and personal forms of censorship, the motion of emotion and the eroticization of safe sex.

"More than any other work, this tape takes on those tricky questions of responsibility for images and avoids a simple division between anti-porn and anti-censorship feminists"
- Cameron Bailey NOW, Toronto Nov. 5-11 /1992

Une "partouze" lesbienne provocante ... qui frappe sous la ceinture, puis arrête timidement le jeu pour révéler le réel et s'interroger sur les multiples niveaux des fantasmes dans la représentation de la sexualité lesbienne.
La censure est appliquée ici de façon unique comme coït interrompu, le comble de l'auto-réflectivité.
