Fransesc Ruiz, House of Fun, 2019

House of Fun is as a short-lived comic book store that invites us to experience radical freedom of expression.

It features exclusively alternative hentai (sexually explicit manga), exploring extreme fetishes and sexual imagery that challenge the ability of drawing and caricature to represent new bodies and desires.

The bookshop features over 4000 fanzines that create an image of a community of discerning consumers of pornographic drawings and xenomilitants of the 'new flesh'. It is a meeting place for subcultures, but also a safe space to explore and share new ideas, to push the boundaries of representation.

Originally created for Momentum, Nordic Biennial of Contemporary Art, in Moss, Norway.
