Marco Malattia is the mastermind behind VLF Laboratories – the true porn collective that takes its art to the next level. Below check out some of their most recent photos plus an excerpt from an interview we did with Marco.
I find your work refreshing, as I have always found appeal in the sexual content of horror movies rather than mainstream porn. Do you see your work as more ritual than pornography? Is this more of a vision of “anti-porn”? What does the term dis-functional porn mean to you?
Pornography, since it showed a commercial value, has lost the nature of the origins and has become a mere genre whose sole purpose is the onanistic activities of the ordinary user.
Our dysfunctionality is this: to not concede anything to the masturbatory gesture in favor of scoptophilia in itself.
You cannot make a ranking of importance between the various elements that make up the project.
“Anti-porn” is, paradoxically, the commonly understood commercial porn. Mine is the true porn, in intention and attitude.
Throughout occult history, masks are an important tool in rituals, what is the significance in your choice of masks?
The masks in the first instance delete the recognizable traits of the girls involved: I’m interested in the woman’s logos, the body as a vehicle.
The masks increase the alternatives applied to the human being, and erase the stupidity of fidelity to oneself.
With our depersonalized bodies, we abolish the ego boundaries and our relationship with reality by living our idios kosmos and synthesizing a structural koinos kosmos represented by V.L.F. products.
