About the artists:&nbsp;

Her films include Viaggio: A Journey, screened at festivals throughout Europe and the United States, and the ongoing series Chasing the Light: Dreamscape of the Erotized Body. Her video Phoenix Rising was featured at ZAZ10TS in Times Square, and she contributed a dream sequence to Christopher Coppola's feature Sammy &amp; Quinn.

Alex Mendo is an independent filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist whose work explores intimacy and human connection. Born in Dallas, educated in Boston, and formerly a software designer in San Francisco, she left the tech industry in 2024 to pursue filmmaking and art full time. Her creative practice is influenced by Ecstatic Dance, whose improvisational movement informs the physical language of her films. Through her ongoing project Human Bodies, Mendo creates works celebrating desire, in collaboration with friends and lovers to craft deeply personal, body-positive cinematic experiences. Her short film Garden of Adams screens in ART/SMUT at The Little Roxie on Friday, July 31st at 6:00pm. <a href="https://humanbodies.co" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">humanbodies.co</a>
