In DEAR FUTURE EJACULATORS: the testicular sac, typically overshadowed by the phallus, takes center stage. Within it lie shame, pain, lust, dependence, ignorance, and dangerously fecund seed. Johanna Ledermann and Tess Mar playfully plunder the sac, creating an opulent iconography of testicles. Wrapped in a stimulating soundscape and a poetic, polyphonic voiceover, the viewer's gaze glides over naked testicles, touches baroque jewelry, and explores questions of relationships and responsibility.
Tess Marschner, born 1989 in Berlin, trained as a photo designer before studying photography and the moving Image in the class of Tina Bara at the HGB Leipzig. In 2020 she spent a semester at UNARTE Bucharest. After completing her diploma in 2023, she undertook a 6-month artistic residency in Barcelona.
