The project Immoral tales researches representations of non-monogamous relationships in cinema. The project focuses on all those films that have approached concepts such as ménage à trois, open relationships, orgies, and other non-monogamous sexual-affective relationships.

The project is presented as a multidisciplinary visual essay referencing the films chosen as study cases. The project analyzes the emancipatory potential of those films and the shortcomings and naiveties they show. 

The formalization of the research is deployed in two different ways. On the one hand, the project use printed material produced and distributed by the film industry, collected by the artist: flyers, posters, movie tickets, or magazines. Those materials show a patina of fetishistic cinephile fascination impregnated with historical value. The images are displayed as tools that help clarify the visual mechanisms that define the models and limits of human relationships. On the other hand, a series of dioramas and small figurative sculptures intend to relate to cinema’s narrativity in an intimate and approachable way. 

Some examples of the films related to the project are:

Design for living (1933, Ernst Lubitsch), 

Jules et Jim (1962, François Truffaut) 

Lions love (1969, Agnès Varda), 

Paint Your Wagon (1969, Joshua Logan) 

or Netflix series such as You, me, her (2016-2020, John Scott Shepherd).
