SUMMARY OF "ANOTHER HOLE":

This book is an investigation of the relation between power and pornography. A combo of personal notes, lyrical writings, an art object, text as essays and images as visual essays, on political thoughts, to dig into the relations between state power and individual erotic desires and an art object. It re-thinks the language utilized for pornography, taking it from the practices of individuals, to the practices of dominant corporate power that pierces through bodies and minds of people without their consent. Beyond cultural and political thoughts, the book is a choreographic and artistic platform that offers further potential for moving practices, for playing, and for sustaining happiness.
