Forbidden City

"In Paris and New-York, I would, from time to time, wander around S&M and swingers clubs with an hidden camera, in pursuit of a dream of dissolution, harmony and collective ectasy. As a creator of illusions, I'm concerned with truth. And for me these are places of truth, like mental hospitals and battlefields. In such places, reality is heightened - is sometimes violent- but human interactions are mostly tender and sincere. Strictly speaking, there is little in the way of purely sexual pleasure. As if, strangely, pleasure wasn't to be found where we most expect it."
