Ella Fleck at Ehrlich SteinbergThe raised platform in the middle of British artist Ella Fleck’s installation vibrates under your feet to the sound of a male voice. He’s whispering sweet nothings, intoning sexual fantasies. It’s all based on third-party agencies that manage OnlyFans accounts, interacting with users, creating fictional relationships that horny guys spend thousands on. It’s a greasy, gross, uncomfortable exploration of sex work on an industrial scale. Yuli Serfaty at Xxijra HiiYuli Serfaty’s headless metallic dog sculptures guard this booth, their claws sharp, their heavy teats dragging on the floor. It’s a surreal symbol of femininity pushed to an extreme, a body devalued and exploited. A video shows the creature trying to escape the booth, and succeeding. The whole installation looks like HR Giger meets Wolfenstein 3D, but with a nasty, satirical edge.
