Part of telling a story is to create a tradition. Transmit knowledge. Is to create an imaginary shared within a community, to share tales that will forge the conscience of the past, of belonging. Heritage. How those stories, that set the bases of our societies, can be interpreted by the prism of porn? How new tales and myths can be created by looking through our contemporary needs and struggles? You’ll see the devastating passion of a queen for Death, the legends of a satanic folklore summoning lust, the quid pro quo exchange between contemporary Socrates and Alcibiades, the sea goddess Euribia, and the Minotaur. All myths and legends that are transformed under the eyes of porn creators from Korea to France.

Sex is dirty, the earth is dirty, unsanitary, unwashed, untamed, uncontrollable. Nature is erotic; fruit ripening and swelling, buds opening, the earth calls out for sensuality. Our fear of sex, of freedom, of unboundedness and bodily exploration outside of the safety of polite guarded society connects sex to horror. Nature is a site of horror; hunters and predators, darkness, killing to survive, becoming worm food, rotting into the earth. We’ve grown to fear and protect ourselves from death at all costs, being confronted with the reality of the morbidity of natural world scares us. Folk Horror plays on both of these fears.
