#PissyArt: The Pisser (1995)

"THE PISSER prolongs the agony until the prevailing crisis point brings release in the form of humiliation, solitude and an river of piss."

That's the description of this 5-minute art flick from the mid-90s, which I downloaded just to share with you all.  Make of it what you will.  Produced by LightCone Media, the film opens with a guy (boy? Man?  It's hard to tell the age) looking directly into the camera before looking away in shame & beginning to squirm around in his seat.  He appears to be sitting at a desk based on the way his hands are folded.  He occasionally looks down, rubs his face or bites his lip in anticipation.  Omo lovers will recognize that anxiety.  A hum in the background ascends to a screeching howl akin to a teapot being brought to boil until--Blackout!

Classical music plays as the camera pans down to the man's crotch area.  We hear the following lyrics sung in a cheesy baritone:

When you walk through a storm

Hold your head up high

And don't be afraid of the dark...

A wet spot forms, quickly turning to a stream bleeding through his shorts.  The stream fills the chair & overflows, running over the edge...

At the end of the storm

Is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark

Unfortunately we don't get to see the full release, as the oh-so-artistic camera guy chooses to film the guy's dry hairy legs for the majority of the "good part".  The short flick ends with the guy staring into the camera looking very sober, albeit relieved.

Maybe its just the fact that we're saturated (pun intended) in graphic wetting porn these days, but this movie felt anti-climactic to me.  I assume it came across as edgy in its day, back when good Omo porn had to be downloaded from P2P sharing sites & magazines were the predominant porn medium of the time, but today it just feels very mediocre.  Especially with live art installations like Transbordação boldly challenging the narrative on wetting.  (Or at least pissing people off, heh).

Here's the full video for your viewing pleasure.  It's created by Richard Squires, London-based artist who mostly works in film.  His full list of other short pieces can be found here.  (I think that's him as The Pisser, actually).
