Poet Adam Tedesco and Zach approach abjection — what it feels like to lose the boundary between yourself and the other, to shield your ego from the world, to shit and to piss — in contemporary poetry, Julia Kristeva’s seminal POWERS OF HORROR and four films: Paul Schrader’s HARDCORE, Ulrich Seidl’s PARADISE: LOVE, Jonathan Glazer’s UNDER THE SKIN and Bob Guccione + Tinto Brass’s CALIGULA. The Holy Brat, the overprotected child ripe with burgeoning fetish, alien gore, Asian diaspora, whip cream sexual violence, finding out your daughter is a porn actress, finding out the Kenyan only loves you for your money, finding out AOC is just another symptom of Roman downfall.
