The Humping Pact was a project that we created together with Diego Agulló during our residency at PACT Zollverein choreography center in Essen, Germany. In April 2012, we presented a short film derived from the project at Oberhausen short film festival.
This project was exploring the relation between desolate landscapes, urban revitalisation, and masculine sexuality. In February 2011, during the residency, we discovered the beautiful Zollverein coalmines, which were abandoned since years and yet still carried the old potential within. We decided to see what happens if we shift our residency right into this desolate industrial landscape, attempting to revitalize it with an act of simulated stimulation towards the environment. As a result, a series of videos were born, which were first presented at Zollverein and, later, at Oberhausener short film festival.
