FlickerFuckers

FlickerFuckers is a duo from Sweden creating Artporn. Work is made mostly in video format, but also as photo and performance. We are screening some videos the traditional ways at film festivals but our primary focus is to create conceptualized projects that screens as part of installations in a separate room, integrated with audio, acoustics and light.

FlickerFuckers erotic art solder together tenderness with violence. It challenges ideas about intimacy. A touch can be done with lips or fingertips – if you’re blindfolded you wouldn’t notice the difference. The brush of a goose feather could easily be confused with the tender stroke of a razor blade.

There is no acting involved in FF’s works. All reactions are occurring in the moment, as acts of trust. It’s about making yourself vulnerable – and to manage that trust.

The works seem to be taking place in a post-apocalyptic state where everything is allowed. The room is created by flickering and unpredictable lighting, which forces the viewers to sharpen their minds. The fragmentary editing distorts the perception of time and creates a constant ongoing now, where the naked, authentic feelings of vulnerability and intimacy are at the heart of it.
