TOKYO — Indie fetish content creator and self-styled "poet of pornography" Axel Abysse has announced the release of "Mucin," described as an "arty and high-fashion tableaux" from Taiwanese director-photographer Manbo Key.
"From its first frame, ‘Mucin’ unfolds into ritual and surrealism. A film set backed by seamless white fabric is festooned with dozens of low-hanging cabbage leaves just above the head of a seated, meditative Abysse," a rep explained. "An ethereal priestess (Kosmic Sans) lovingly wraps him in transparent cling film like a chrysalis, then methodically tears it away to reveal a metamorphosed Abysse whose body drips and oozes a mucilaginous slime."
"The kinky erotic action begins to play out in hot red light as [costar] Ting Cheng Ho fists Abysse in an artificial set that teems with bizarre and unexpected nature," continued the rep. "Their connection is sometimes sensuous, with long and beautiful kisses in slow motion, sometimes hypnotic, as bright flashes and strobes accompany the fisting action."
The rep noted Manbo Key, "the creator behind this blend of beauty and weirdness, has built a career in the heady worlds of fashion and high art. His challenging filmic creations bring queer and underground culture elements into mainstream projects."
The pair recently worked together on "Rencontre Culturelle," described as an "erotic documentary" about a 2019 "high-culture and lowdown kink stage performance" in collaboration with Seoul-based multimedia artist and designer Woo Yeah.
"I've always admired Manbo’s work and merging our universe was a dream come true,” Abysse said. "His aesthetic is pure poetry. The way he treats colors itself is storytelling. I’ve said this before, but I believe porn is a form of art. It can take new shapes, it can be bold, dreamy and still make you cum."
"I’m all for mixing media in pornography. ‘Mucin’ is something I’ve never seen before. Yet I know how it could have impacted me if I watched it as a spectator," continued Abysse. "Also, let’s face it, my scene partner Ting is such eye candy. We’ve spent some time together, danced and fucked before onstage in Taipei. We both were very comfortable letting Manbo direct us in his mind."
"It’s also the first time my life accomplice Kosmic Sans appears onscreen with me. It was all very warm and friendly," he added. "'Mucin' is a trip, a hallucination. Let it swallow you whole the way it swallowed us."
Abysse's website is part of the Zbuckz affiliate network; Danny Zeeman, CEO of parent company WebMediaProz, noted he is "continually surprised and amazed at Axel's talent and the inspiration that brings a unique edge to his gay fetish website. Only Axel, with the help of Manbo, could bring together high art and raunchy sleaze with such attention given to minutiae, to create something so out of this world that you just have to see it. ‘Mucin’ is Axel's tour de force. Mind blown."
"Mucin" will be available starting Friday on AxelAbysse.com; follow him on Twitter.
