With brutal honesty and a touch of irony, The End of Suburbia explores the American Way of Life and its prospects as the planet approaches a critical era, as global demand for fossil fuels begins to outstrip supply. Are today's suburbs destined to become the slums of tomorrow?

              All the images included in this piece, even those that don't deal with the subject, come from gay erotica produced in Eastern Europe since the introduction of capitalism.

This video doesn't deal with the transgressions typical of pornography, but with the real pornography of human exploitation. 6th Independent Vídeo & Interactive Phenomena Show
