BRB is a poetic observation of online sex webcams where the absence of sex is the focus of the work. In text we follow the online community chat, users talking amongst other users.
For a long time I’ve been intrigued by the world of sex webcam’s. On the one hand it’s quite a personal space where (a big part of) the girls are in control of their own action and environment. A lot of them identify themselves as feminists. On the other hand they are objectified and (mostly) men ask them to do stuff for tokens (cash money bitches). Like in other work I made regarding pornography, I work from a curiousness what remains or reveals itself if you take away the pornographic content and put the imagery in another context. The empty rooms become a poetic reflection of what is not there.
The images are collected form the website chaturbate.com. The recordings are made when the girls are gone, just after they left or before they come back. The chat that occurs when the girls are gone sometimes create funny situations where others have a darker context.
