MISTRESS KOLIPI + ØTHYR
Mistress Kolipi & Øthyr are architects of desire, dismantling the boundaries between pain and pleasure, dominance and devotion.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, this queer POC artist duo creates erotic works that function as ritual, rebellion, and reclamation. Their films, images, and performances challenge the gaze, rewrite the rules, and invite audiences into deeper states of embodiment, surrender, and power.
Kolipi is a femme domme of color and professional dominatrix whose ceremonial approach to kink merges discipline with transformation. Her practice centers erotic sovereignty, consent, and the sacred potential of the body as altar.
Øthyr is an award-winning film director, photographer, and music producer whose past work for Nike, Red Bull, National Geographic, The New York Times, and NY Fashion Week has earned three Cannes Lions. Their work has been featured alongside Ai Weiwei, bridging the worlds of art, sex, and political resistance. Their sound has moved dance floors; their images have reshaped desire.
Their work has been featured in Sex + Psychedelics Magazine, spotlighted on Crude Podcast (Berlin), and honored by festivals that celebrate the future of erotic film. Their debut short Surrender was selected for Dan Savage’s 20th Anniversary HUMP! Film Festival, toured 40+ cities worldwide, and is now streaming. Their follow-up, Flesh & Fire, will premiere in NYC in July 2025 at DRIP: Queer & Trans Porn Film Festival.
This is not performance. This is not theory.
This is an invocation. A reckoning. A return.
Enter the ritual.
We are queer POC artists who make porn as ritual—an act of reclamation in a world that has long sought to erase, censor, and commodify our desires.
Our work lives at the intersection of kink, cinema, embodiment, and ceremony. We use the lens not just to document sex, but to activate it—as a site of power, transformation, and deep remembering. Through film, photography, sound, and performance, we channel erotic energy as sacred force.
This is not porn for performance.
This is porn as portal.
Our practice is rooted in devotion: to sovereignty, to consent, to the body as altar, to erotic power as a source of creative and political agency. We know that pleasure is political. That intimacy is never apolitical. In the face of rising fascism, repression, and cultural regression, erotic art is resistance.
Each project is a spell. Each film is a rite.
Our work invites the viewer to step out of shame and into sovereignty—to feel, remember, and awaken.
We are not here to perform.
We are here to provoke, to reclaim, to initiate.
This is a movement. A remembering. A return.
Enter the ritual.
