Pornographic Possibility Spaces and Obscenity Visions of a Future: Intimacy, Sensuality, and Capitalism as Personal Overlays, in: Fragile Threads – Perspectives on Relationships in Capitalism (edition assemblage, 2024)

This anthology brings together academic, artistic, and activist perspectives on relationships within capitalism. It creates a mosaic of critique, resistance, and vision. Our entanglements in capitalist structures seem inextricable, yet they are also fragile and vulnerable. For they are neither natural nor constant, but always crisis-ridden and in motion. Together, we can tear them apart and weave threads of mutual support.".


Jasmin Hagendorfer explores in her text the entanglement of sexuality, body politics, and capitalist structures, critically questioning the normative representations of bodies and sexualities. She relies on subversive art forms like DIY pornography and performance to create resistant spaces that undermine patriarchal and capitalist power relations. Her approach is a radical invitation to creative rebellion against societal norms and to reclaim one's own sexual autonomy.

„Fragile Verses – Body, Capitalism, and Queer Resistance“


During my residency at thealit’s study room, I aims to build on her text in “Fragile Threads” by transforming it into a more poetic and performative form. The interconnection of sexuality, body politics, and resistance within patriarchal and capitalist structures meets feminist angry rant. I intend to develop a narrative form that not only critically questions these themes but also artistically rearticulates them. #naughtybynature
