Pleasure fetish – kink without labels
Although the broadly understood theories of sexuality have already explored and familiarized us with the concept of the fetish, it’s worth finding new ways of talking about it. Let us try to gently reinterpret the very idea of fetish as a stimulation practice and place it in new, non-obvious contexts. This will give us a chance to see that the power of the fetish lies not in how we use it, but in the fetish itself, and seems to open up new fields of pleasure. Such artistic practices are also rooted in the postporn mainstream (Four Chambers), as well as the work of leading, independent artists (Ben Berlin). Cars, gloves, furniture, masks or…refrigerators – which fetish do you choose?
