Edible Porn by Maria Forque
Therefore, we feel obligated to offer this experience to you. Inspired by Forque's newfound obsession, wowmukbang eating videos, her new piece explores the inherently sexual and meditative nature of the process of eating, in the context of modern media-born exhibitionism. But we'll let Forque fill you in herself on how she ended up doing a DJ set, declothed, eating sushi.
I just came back from Asia, where I was presenting my live DJ set and video concept, 'Hentai & Meditation.' I want to show you the last Hentai & Meditation video set, "PORN FOOD," inspired by the eating video Instagrammer, @wowmukbang, who I'm obsessed with.
Hentai is a Japanese word meaning perversion or metamorphosis.
Perversion means sexual behaviour that is considered abnormal.
Metamorphosis means a change of a form into a completely different one.
I use the word “Hentai” because I show sex outside the intimate space, which I consider to be a perversion.
I use the word “Hentai” because my aim is to transform people with my dj sets. I use the word “Hentai” because it is the best sexual aesthetic for me.Sex is when two or more people link their body and souls.
I use the word “Sex” because my gaze establishes an astral-sexual relationship with the viewer through the screen.
I use the word “Sex” because the music in these dj sets generate brain orgasms.
“Meditation” is the act of remaining in a silent and calm state for a period of time to connect with the God within you.
I use word “Meditation” because I remain still in the videos and induce myself and the viewer into a meditative state.
PORN FOOD is a DJ set with the sex of Latin music and the euphoric meditation of edm, with the former genre connecting us to our lower chakra and the latter to our higher one. The mouth could be a vagina or an ass-hole, while the food is a dick or fingers. The sauces are like saliva, vaginal discharge or sperm. The sound that the mouth makes while eating recalls the sound made during sex. Food in itself produces pleasure-orgarms in our brain and body, just as sex.

Meditation is the act of remaining in a silent and calm state for a period of time to connect with the God within you. I use the word meditation because I remain still in the videos and induce myself and the viewer into a meditation. Visually, in "Hentai & Sex" DJ sets, the viewer and I are having astral sex through the connection of our gaze while my staticism incites meditation and the music is the energy that connects all of our chakras and makes us orgasm together. Musically, "Hentai & Sex" DJ sets are meant to connect your lower chakra (sex) to your higher chakra (connection with God), while awakening all the chakras in between.
This is the same thing that happens when we have an orgasm. I always mix two bipolar music genres, which activate the lower chakra and the higher chakra. “Hentai & Meditation” DJ sets are meant to be listened to but with a visual accompainment that you can look at whenever you want. “FOOD PORN” is a "Hentai & Meditation" DJ set, blending the sex of Latin music and the euphoric meditation of EDM; the first genre connecting us to our lower chakra and the second genre to our higher one. This time I played with food because I think eating is sexual and meditative too. The mouth could be a vagina or an asshole, while the food is a dick or fingers. The sauces are like saliva, vaginal discharge, or sperm.
The sound that the mouth makes while eating resembles sex, and food in and of itself produces pleasure orgarms in our brain and body, just as sex does. So, for me, eating is a fetish. Since I discovered @wowmukbang's instagram of people eating, I became obsessed and decided to do it myself for one of my “Hentai Sex & Meditation” DJ sets. I chose sushi because I love its colourful and tidy nature, which is structured with different forms, and how clean it is with everything in its place. Also, sushi has different textures and is dipped in soy, which makes it wet and more sexual. In the video, the food goes in and out as it happens in sex. Its a metaphoric, meditative, sexual relationship with the viewer. In this video you have all of my "Hentai & Meditation."
