RATED X
In 2019, Georgina Philp organized Dresdens first "Ball" in cooperation with Deutsches Hygiene Museum.
Founded in 1912, the museum originally opened it's doors to cater to Immanuel Kant's ideas of Enlightenment. The sexist and racist notions behind those ideas and concepts remained unaddressed for a long time.
To open up narratives, Deutsches Hygiene Musuem cooperated with Georgina Philp aka Mother Leo Saint Laurent, to create an event that adresses topics like HIV and AIDS and most of all to include communities that are victims of institutional discrimination in matters of health to this day.
Sophie Yukiko created a concept film with the aim to visualize the mistaken sharpness and pragmatism that was used to spread sexist and racist teachings about hygiene and health.

Choreographers Sophie-Yukiko and Georgina Philp, portrayed the german mentality and tradition of categorizing, as well as the close associations between hygiene, sexuality, and disease that still exist in society today.
Underlined through Florian Mathes and Lupae Designs Art, that through the use of Latex Material mixed with high fashion / avantgarde designs, also play with ambivalent associations of fetish, stigma and beauty, the film and photo series captured by Svenja Trierscheid, ultimately got published by VOGUE magazine.
