‘I Love The Smell Of My Pussy’ has seen input from Krista Papista, performance artist Florentina Holzinger and none other than Planningtorock.
Meet Krista Papista, Berlin’s latest shape-shifting musician, producer, video director and trailblazer. In collaboration with performance artist Florentina Holzinger and Berlin-based filmmakers Ouroboros, she presents a brand new video for her latest feminist “sordid-pop” anthem, ‘I Love the Smell of my Pussy’, taken from recent “anti-nationalist album”, Sultana.
Shot on the set of Holzinger’s show, Apollon, with her all-naked female cast, including Florentina herself and with Krista centre-stage, ‘I Love the Smell of My Pussy’ is a celebration of both artists and an homage to Holzinger’s live piece, with Papista as narrator. She shares a nostalgic tale of her adolescent queer sexual fantasies, confessing that she’d only hung out with her friend because of a crush on her mother, idealising womanhood via a daughter’s romantic gaze.
Through the lens of her youth, Papista’s reflective queer-girl diary expresses an awakening dissatisfaction with growing up and navigating her place in a hetero-patriarchal and post-colonial society, with a keen interest in the sensual and sexual changes she was experiencing.
