Thanks again! I enjoy your ideas.
You say a polaroid camera, but a digital camera could be quite interesting. What if we had one poser with a digital camera (or phone). They go around the scene taking provocative pictures of our poses and we project the most recent photo on a big screen on the stage. It could have a few added benefits.
First, the camera will be able to get close ups and project things large on the screen that members of the audience would otherwise be unable to see - especially if they are not right up close to the stage. We could introduce a bit more subtlety in some of the poses where the details would otherwise be lost. We do a bit with me in doggy style, Andrew pulling my ass cheeks apart and having his face pushed up into my parts. With a camera projecting onto a screen, I think you could introduce more tension. He spreads my cheeks, then the poser pulls out his tongue. Get a picture of his outstretched tongue an inch from my holes. Push his head forward, maybe see his tongue touching my cheek. Maybe more I don’t know we’d have to rehearse it. But a lot of those small details are lost without the close up of a camera.
Second, I wonder if it triggers a more sexual response from the viewers. Imagine a pose where Andrew is on his back, I am on all fours over him, his fist is holding the base of his cock and my fist is wrapped around his, my mouth is open, my tongue extended and two inches from the head of his penis. When you see that in the performance, it’s of course highly sexual, but not mistaken for a blowjob. You see our bodies morphing into that pose and holding still as they move different parts of ours.
Now imagine a picture of that pose projected on a big screen. Because it’s a moment in time, I wonder if it tricks the brain into thinking this is a frozen moment from a moving scene. You are used to seeing pictures in porn that you know what happens next, so I wonder if the brain sort of fills in the gaps and interpolates the motion. What do you guys think?
Or what about the idea of audience participation! We have two phones. We run through poses for about half the time, then we bring up a male and female audience volunteer. Then we let them take whatever shots they want with the camera and they are broadcast on the screen (side by side).
We could label which is the guy’s phone vs the girls. It would be interesting to look at the gender differences. Do you think the guy volunteer would take extremely explicit pictures of my genitals? Would the female volunteer focus more on the shapes of our bodies, facial expressions? Andrew? Would be an interesting psychology experiment.
Of course I don’t know how to hook up a phone to a screen like that but I’m sure it could be done. I like the idea of projecting pictures, rather than video. For some reason I just feel it would make the already still poses come to life more - paradoxically.
Then of course there is the matter of the pictures! I would certainly want them destroyed after every performance. Or maybe I would just want to own them myself so they didn’t fall into the wrong hands. In fact I would love to see what we look like from a voyeurs point of view. I might enjoy some alone time with those pictures haha and save them as keepsakes.
What do you guys think of this idea? Do you think it would add something?
