The artist duo Magessi & Morusiewicz* from Vienna works with methods of appropriation, recycling and re-staging, such as collage, montage, sampling and found footage. The starting points of their work are their preoccupation with film, sexuality, pornography, images of orientalisation (which are also inherently a pornographic gaze, the gaze from an ‚outside‘) and the examination of fabulations queer futures.

​

Magessi & Morusiewicz work with video, textiles and print. What they have in common is an interest in critical archival studies from a queer perspective. As a duo, they work to establish a collaborative artistic research practice that combines filmmaking, performance, curating and writing.

Within the framework of the lecture series of the IKFK of the Universiy Bremen: „Critical Porn Studies — Künstlerische-mediale Positionen und neue Perspektiven“.
