The Fall of Communism as Seen in Gay Pornography


This film was made in 1998 by William Jones and is currently shown at 53rd Venice Biennale.

Description
Every image in The Fall of Communism as Seen in Gay Pornography comes from gay erotic videos produced in Eastern Europe since the introduction of capitalism. The video provides a glimpse of young men responding to the pressures of an unfamiliar world, one in which money, power and sex are now connected.
