Recordings Portfolio presents erotic photogram collection—nine light-sensitive sheets documenting peak orgasmic moments with different men who passed sporadically through Rey's life. The boxed set functions as intimate archive where each photogram preserves specific encounter's climax: condoms and bodily fluids revealed as visual testimony to shared ecstasy. The portfolio format emphasizes serial nature of casual intimacy, creating comprehensive record of desire's material traces collected, revealed, and permanently recorded.
Recordings is a collection series of experiences with different men who have passed through my life sporadically. During this process, I collect the peak moment of joy, the ecstasy of orgasm, on a light-sensitive sheet of paper, which is later revealed and recorded.
