Pornoland Redux is the story of returning from a land where battles are fought and epic feats are accomplished, a place everyone talks about and that everyone would at least like to visit. The borders of Pornoland may be broad and hazy - Berlin, Budapest, Prague, Tokyo, Los Angeles or Milan - yet the geographical venue is not one defined by 'facts': it is essentially a representation of oneiric fantasies, dreamy hallucinations, details and obsessions, all, even more, real than reality itself.
Stefano De Luigi - on tiptoe, edging around the film set almost like a shadow - rewrites the dynamics of an imaginary world now crystallised in a long but well-defined series of situations, caught on the cusp between the banality of everyday life and the climax of the heroic moment. De Luigi's photographs bring to the surface what usually lurks in the depths of each individual: their dreams, desires and fears. What the images contain and signify is deliberately postponed, almost as if the function of these photos were to protect the bodies of the actors in space, to put off their actions in time.

Stefano looks back on a former work and a large-scale edition to move towards a more artistic and intimate book in the sex industry!
