Things to Do in Brussels, Belgium – The Humping Pact from Dmitry Paranyushkin on Vimeo.

The Humping Pact operates on the basis of missions: thematic threads unified by a common condition or location. Thanks to the community of our supporters, we travel around the world to find the locations that used to have or still have a lot of unrealized potential. We then bring our two bodies in relation to each sensitive spot on those beautiful artefacts of human persistence and attempt to release their potential through a mix of affective physicality and contemporary technology. The choice of humping in this case is dictated by the need of persistent meditation on transcending the futility of dedicated simulation. In other words, the energy is channeled from the space, through our bodies into the screen only if we suspend the pre-climax condition that never realizes itself in the orgasm. – THE HUMPING PACT

Palais de Justice de Bruxelles – The Humping Pact from Dmitry Paranyushkin on Vimeo.

The palace of justice is one of the most important and beautiful landmarks in the city of Brussels. It was the biggest building built in the 19th century and it stands to this day as the silent witness of the state’s past grandeur. We dedicate this 5-minute long humping ritual, climatic loop that never comes to its orgasmic realization, to this beautiful monument.
