stop living on video

In conversations with trans viewers and makers of porn, Mara investigates porn as a healing portal for trans people seeking embodiment.

This episode was written, sound designed & produced by Mara Lazer, edited by Nicole Kelly & Phoebe Unter and hosted by Kaitlin Prest. Editorial advisement from Sharon Mashihi.

Part 2 of e4e, a mini mini series where two artists seek experiences where their minds and bodies are connected.

In this episode, you heard “Living on Video” by Trans-X, sound from a Phoeneisseur video, and sounds from Azantar’s game Dream Lands.

Thank you to Phoebe, NK & Ari for encouraging me to sit at the table & tell them everything.

Special thanks to my roommate for letting me follow them around the house with a mic during quarantine. And Nikki for playing along! Nikki streams on twitch @aliteraltranswoman.
