Bernadette Keys an Australian visual and performing artist from Melbourne, Australia.
In ‘Again?’ Bernadette examines schisms  between sexuality, emotion and the scopophillia inherent in media-driven culture.  An anonymous female protagonist communicates a shifting narrative of sensuality, sado-masochism, auto-eroticism and pornography limited only by the viewer’s perception.
Tara de Porte, visual artist from NY, USA. Her work is a direct expression of self and constant questioning. Drawing simultaneously on a spectrum from the narrative to the abstract, she works in mixed media—from found objects to oil paints, plaster gauze to human hair. Using a combination of vibrant colours, disjointed brushstrokes, strong lines and drawing, my works often fulfil a desire to “leap” off of the canvas, literally and figuratively. www.taradeporte.com

Jo Cook, visual artist from Mayne Island, Canada.

Kirsty Kross aka Legs Akimbo, artist and musician from Brisbane, Australia based in Berlin.

Julia Ostertag, filmmaker from Hannover, Germany. Her video SEXJUNKIE, is about the difficulty of linking love and sexuality, the inability to live without emotional contact. Sexuality as a source of warmth in a cold world. The restlessness of desire, the fear of being rejected, a profound essay of erotic and intimate images and a disturbingly personal text.

Sabine Jelinek, visual artist, photographer and video artist from Vienna.
