Ex Corpore is developed on the gesture of extracting and taking portions of images from gay pornographic sources. The theme is pornography as a staged intimacy but at the same time as an urge to actual closeness. These contents, peculiar because of the intimacy, are also accessible to all. These images are generally hidden from the public scene despite they are part of a precise economic framework within society itself. Moreover they can be the main tool to express an otherwise repressed sexuality. Indeed many users approach this kind of video but, at the same time, move away from it: adoration and abhorrence. Images are the material I work with, extracting and tearing off part of its representations. This process is already founded on the Christian mystery of incarnation of the blood of Christ in images and icons. In this sense, the only way to relate to a virtual image of a body is to embody it in a printed image. In this way the image of a body becomes a body itself, from which I can extract a relic: a sacred relationship with the image.
