Additionally, MIRAGE has the pleasure of showcasing two of Serck-Hanssens photography series, Orgasm Addicts og North Sea Pioneer Divers, at Vega Scene as part of MIRAGE.
PORNOMELANCOLÍA delves elegantly and thoughtfully into reflections on sex, its public representation, and societal taboos surrounding a perfectly natural human activity.

It is a metaphor for a widespread, if not all-encompassing, loneliness caused by small and big screens; an epitaph for intimacy. Lalo Santos’ unwavering commitment to his physical and emotional self enables Manuel Abramovich to offer a perceptive and sensitive glimpse into this world of both porn and the more common idea of our alter-ego digital lives.
