Collaboration with Ikeuchi Hiroto and Skeletonics, 2021. Via.–The erotic embrace, the sexual relationship, is ‘neither a struggle, nor a fusion, nor a knowledge … It is a relationship with alterity, with mystery – that is to say, with the future, with what (in a world where there is everything) is never there, with what cannot be there when everything is there – not with a being that is not there, but with the very dimension of alterity.’ The erotic is the lure and embrace of the truly alien, the flesh that is other.Gerard Loughlin, from Alien Sex: The Body and Desire in Cinema and Theology, 2004.
