Overview

Mixing cyberporn and “basement porn” footage together, Hose juxtaposes the revolutionary promises of sexuality of the '70s with the cybersex reality of the '90s. This rich visual examination of queer sexuality would not be complete without its sly piss-take (literally) about the fun of watersports.
