Clara Delorme lifts her leg to make her vagina lip come out

20 min

Creation 2022

In September 2019, I'm signing my first show, L’albâtre. A naked solo on a white square. In July 2020, a someone writes me a first mail. This person asks me if she can download a video of L’albâtre, on their Xhamster profile. It’s a pornographic website. I think to myself, this person has asked me, so I simply answer that, no, they can't, that I don't give them my consent. The problem is that they are not satisfied with my answer and they starts to harass me with emails and blackmail me to get the full video. They are also creative and makes photo montages with zooms on my body and uploads the videos on many pornographic websites. Since then this person writes to me regularly. I have never seen a person so eager to see the video of a dance performance. Clara Delorme lift her leg to make her vagina lip come out, from the title used by Justin on porn sites, is my reappropriation of this
situation.
