Jouissance










exhibited in 
Constructions of Resemblance, VC7, Zurich, CH, 2024Jouissance is a term coined by the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, derived from the French word jouir. In English, it signifies not only enjoyment but also the act of orgasm. Lacan‘s concept of jouissance describes a state where pleasure reaches its limit, yet one continues to pursue it — crossing into a realm where pleasure transforms into suffering.

The works consist of an array of body part cut-outs, taken entirely from OnlyFans. These framents are deconstructed and reassembled into amorphous forms that blend bodies and acts of intercourse. The explicit sexual context recedes into abstraction, inviting a striking analysis of how desire, bodies, and even intimacy itself are transformed into consumable objects within a facade of connection. In this way, the jouissance experienced by the subject is mediated through broader structures of commodification.
