Playing in the World, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Fetish with Jon Yoder

In this installment of Cross-Talk #9 — The Architecture Play, we talk with Jon Yoder and the reunification of theory and practice into a purely playful disciplinary atmosphere.

The role of Archinect’s series Cross-Talk is to bring forward the positive aspects of the polemic and allow for the resulting conflict to bring to life an otherwise still and comfortable climate of creativity—if there can be one. Cross-Talk attempts—if to only say that it did—to allow text the freedom that the image has accepted and embraced. Cross-Talk attempts to force the no, to contradict itself, to anger, to please and then anger again, if only to force a stance, to pull out the position of the self, of the discipline and of the hour as a means to begin and maintain conversations moving forward.

Yet, an adult film is very much a designed object – particularly when it comes to the elaborate structural and fantasy elements involved in BDSM and kink.
