Frequently Asked Questions.
What is this?
Collaborating with V for Vicious Magazine involves Dialogue and Performance, neither of which require any preparation. Nudity is neither required nor encouraged, but always welcomed.
This work functions in practicality as a counter culture magazine, intersectional feminist forum, and index for evolving ideas on the Nature, History and Nuance of Identity and Social Mobility.
To learn more, start by completing the Google Form, ‘Collaborate’ linked below, which includes space to address any boundaries or unique circumstances you may have.
Dialogue.
Step One: First, I’ll ask you some basic questions (below) about yourself and some logistical questions in a Google Form. Fill in the Google Form by clicking the ‘Collaborate’ link below. Your responses are private, unless otherwise agreed upon.
Step Two: Next, I’ll invite you to my studio, where we’ll discuss some of those questions + concepts on camera or off camera as part of V4’s Interview.
Questions:
What roles do you play in your personal, professional, familial, creative life? (What do you do for a living, who are you in relationship to others)
How do those roles influence your Intimate Partner Dynamics?
How would you describe Dominance + Power Exchange + Consent + Submission, to someone hearing these terms for the first time?
Describe your current relationship to money.
Describe your current relationship to your Body.
How satisfied are you in your creative life?
How satisfied are you in your sex life?
Performance.
Step Three: We’ll review the Consent Form again and talk a bit more specifically about individual parameters.
Step Four: the camera is rolling and…
We cover you in paint – either Myself, yourself, or a team effort, depending on boundaries + desired level of anonymity, all discussed beforehand.
Next, we’ll move around, roll around, scream, laugh, cry, express ourselves on the canvas.
And cut. Final words from you on the experience + closing portrait.
Mix and Match: Different ways to look at the same thing.

What happens after I complete the Collaborate form?
After you’ve completed the Collaborate Form, V will contact you to determine availability + discuss a short list of concepts that will inspire the performance, based on your responses in the form.
Please note: it’s very important collaborators understand that most of the work involved in Consent, Boundaried Engagement, and Expectation Setting is done before anything happens. Reach out with any questions, concerns, or ideas before we meet. Consent may be withdrawn at anytime.
