[Critical Masturbation] is an ongoing audiovisual exploration of erotism, focusing on the historical role of FLINTA bodies as objects of desire, and how these narratives continue to shape experiences in the present. Intimate testimonies and experiments with erotic imagery unfold simultaneously in space,  to make sense of the chaos of our feelings. Far from offering fixed answers, Paloma Schnitzer’s work revolves around the question of how to be critical while exploring ways to expand our capacity for pleasure, and whether desire can be reclaimed from the very forces that formed it.



The work is presented as a 7-channel video installation, opening the possibility of privately listening to a testimony, while observing the image of another body, creating a plural transverse interweaving of stories and sensations.
