PARTY & EVENTS

Live performance documentation. The room is dark except for a flood lighting that illuminates a large wooden table, whose left side is strewn with various kitchen implements (hot plate, saute pan, tableware) and baking ingredients and the two nude performers wearing green aprons and black surgical gloves. One person is on top of the left side of the table, knees bent, hunched over with their arms above their head, while the other person is standing behind them on the floor, penetrating their asshole with an implement. In the dim background, three tiers of bleacher style seating show a packed audience of spectators.
