NSFW: "Libidinis" by Rosa Peris and Mercedes Peris

"Lividinis" is a gently erotic work in which the two protagonists strip off each other's skin. The creators, Spanish twin sisters Rosa Peris and Mercedes Peris, create a fluid, ethereal space with sensual pencil and ink line drawings, gouaches, pastels, and marker colors:

In an act of intimacy, a man and woman remove each other's skin. Interrupting them are two children attending a love school. Lividinis is a short film produced by a research group from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Plastic Art Expression of Movement, Animation and Light-Kinetics), an exhibition that aims to show human skin as a humanistic research object. It was produced especially for the exhibition SKIN, which aims to present human skin as a humanistic research subject. Commissioned by Wellcome Trust London and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).
