KIRAC 29: Whore Dialectics (2026)

Movie ★ 10.0 58 min

While Ben Lunato awaits his day in court, we embark with him on a journey through the world of whores. We traverse bizarre mental landscapes and arrive in Los Angeles, where we meet our friend, the art dealer Stefan Simchowitz, and, of course, whores. Endlessly many whores. In Los Angeles, walking through the warehouses that store Stefan Simchowitz’s vast collection of contemporary African art, a promising discovery emerges concerning whores and fetishized Africans. In this film these figures appear to merge into an affirmative horizon, beyond woke ideology and politics, toward a new art, reaching back to reestablish a link with modernist symbolism as represented by Picasso’s Demoiselles d’Avignon.
