Extending the role playing workshops, first explored in What If?, this series of live action vignettes and animations focus on the fictional mating rituals of Orlan within a complicated polyamourous foursome, contextualizing her within a grouping of characters that push the boundaries of the definition of the word carnal. Re-envisioned operation rituals are performed by her lovers in tandem with intimate physical and virtual dates that develop their deepening relationships.
What If? Beyond a CarnaLove made its world premiere at The Lab in San Francisco, CA. It has also screened at The European Media Arts Festival, Osnabrueck, Germany; Video Dumbo, Brooklyn, NY; The Chicago Underground Film Festival and The Nightengale, both in Chicago, IL.
