These porn posters are styled elegantly like film ones
'Artistic pornography goes beyond design furniture, violins, glasses of wine, golden masks and vanilla sex.'
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Erika Lust’s XConfessions erotic film series is billed as ‘not a place for stereotypical porno-cheap imagery’, and as such its posters don’t follow in the suit of the clickbaity promotional GIF links that litter porn sites.
Instead, they look like they could be advertising Sundance films - albeit incredibly NSFW ones - incorporating carefully composed stills that are a million miles from the garish lo-resolution imagery that most associate with porn.
They’re not dissimilar to the posters for Gaspar Noe’s Love and Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac, just a little more overt about the film’s sexuality.
To director Erika, “artistic pornography goes beyond design furniture, violins, glasses of wine, golden masks and vanilla sex.
“We want to keep you excited: unlike many other adult sites, at XConfessions you won’t find the same story or setting twice.
“Every short film is a story on its own, displaying a huge variety of situations, characters, fetishes and ways of having sex.”
Look out for our feature on Erika and the rise of avant-garde pornography later this month.
