Water Makes Us Wet

Water Makes Us Wet film posterWith a poetic blend of curiosity, humor, sensuality and concern, this film chronicles the pleasures and politics of H2O from an ecosexual perspective.

Travel around California with Annie, a former sex worker, Beth, a professor, and their dog Butch, in their E.A.R.T.H. Lab mobile unit, as they explore water in the Golden State. Ecosexuality shifts the metaphor “Earth as Mother” to “Earth as Lover” to create a more reciprocal and empathetic relationship with the natural world.

Along the way, Annie and Beth interact with a diverse range of folks including performance artists, biologists, water treatment plant workers, scholars and others, climaxing in a shocking event that reaffirms the power of water, life and love.
Running time 80 minutes.
Starring: Beth Stephens & Annie Sprinkle.

Ecosexual Weddings

We performed countless large-scale, small-scale, and quickie weddings to nature entities, beginning with our Green Wedding to the Earth in 2008.

This 10-minute performance documentation video features seven of these happenings. Watching it will give you a good taste of what the weddings were like, the vows we made, and the communities that collaborated with, celebrated with, and fell in love with. For more details, visit loveartlab.org.
