Submission #2 by Irina Sigitova shows a woman suspended upside down underwater and surrounded by fish; a reference to a growing interest in BDSM as an innate reaction to the anesthetizing phenomenon of materialism in society. Sigitova initiates a dialogue about the rise of radical hedonism in the modern world, where society is geared towards meeting every need, from the emotional to the physical. Such is the desire to experience absolute happiness that if one confesses to being unhappy, something must be wrong with them. Just as the need for radical hedonism grows, so too does the craving for pain. One example of this is the increasing interest in BDSM practices as a counter-reaction to the numbing effects of materialism. As pain is removed from even the most tragic experiences, such as death, and we turn to ‘pain-less’ legalized euthanasia in many countries, how do we respond to this absence of ‘feeling’?
