Masturbatory Practices
[Part 2]
Ongoing research (started on 2022)
During the years 2022 and 2023, Aline conducted research on the first masturbatory experiences of bodies with vaginas. This research serves as the foundation for the creation of the second part of the Trilogy of Satiety.
Research outcome - October 2022
HOMEWORK
Exploring Byung-Chul Han's concept of erotic theater, the performance "Homework" featured Aline Olmos leading a drawing class centered around the contemplation of a live model's vulva. The audience was invited to non-sexually observe and sketch the organ individually and in pairs, creating a layered perspective from different angles.
Research outcome - January 2023
Immersive Masturbation Logbook: A Study on Tables
The research started with the investigation of the first masturbatory practices in bodies with vulvas. With the table as the protagonist, as it is an object that initiates the masturbatory practice in one of the stories narrated, the investigation materialized in a hybrid space that blurs the boundaries between museum exhibition and theatrical stage. The works presented addressed themes such as the aforementioned first masturbatory memories, the Rubber Tree as a producer of vegetable semen (latex), and a possible connection between the rubber cycle and the sex toy market.

TABLE_DOG
In this research phase, Aline crafted elements from the previous experiment into a theatrical monologue. The audience was positioned in a frontal setting, collectively guided by the same inputs. The freedom of movement and time present in the previous experiment were deliberately restricted, aiming to explore how diverse spatial arrangements shape distinct connections with the audience and the implications of these differences in the reception of this specific topic and material.
This investigation was carried out at DAS Theater
