For the third part of WET’s 2026 programme, who films who? we present a group show of films by three distinct artists. NO RIGHT WAY 2 CUM brings together works by Jean Genet, Vu T. Thu Hà, and Sidsel Meineche Hansen, forming an ongoing inquiry into the ethics, power dynamics, and technologies involved in filming others. Moving from banned cinema and collaborative filmmaking to digital animation, the exhibition explores how desire, control and resistance are negotiated. Spanning more than six decades, from Genet’s once-censored Un chant d’amour to Vu’s early-2000s community-driven intervention Shut Up White Boy and Meineche Hansen’s animated CGI work No Right Way 2 Cum, the show traces how shifting technologies and social contexts shape what can be seen, shown and contested.
As part of the show, we are also putting together a library of books, magazines and zines exploring sex, erotic literature and pornography in art. Do you have any published or unpublished materials you want to contribute? We would love to hear from you – email, dm or talk to Sophie!
Un chant d’amour
Jean Genet
silent, 16mm to video, 1950, 25min
Un chant d’amour by cult writer, thief and icon of queer cinema, Jean Genet created a national scandal. This story by Genet, who wrote many of his works while incarcerated, centres around two prison inmates who lose themselves in homo-erotic fantasies.
Jean Genet (1910-1986) was a French novelist, playwright, poet, essayist, and political activist. In his early life he was a vagabond and petty criminal, but he later became a writer and playwright. His major works include the novels The Thief’s Journal and Our Lady of the Flowers and the plays The Balcony, The Maids and The Screens.
Shut Up White Boy
Vu T. Thu Hà
English spoken, 16mm film to video, 2002, 13min
Trailer: 1:40 min
When yellow fever rears its ugly head, it sometimes needs some serious ass kicking. When a white boy with yellow fever brings in his Asian fetish and Asian girlfriend to a restaurant, the staff of Asian dykes take creative revenge, with fantasy and reality colliding. An all API (Asian Pacific Islander) collaborative film by Vu T. Thu Hà, with an original soundtrack by the DragOn Ladies.
Vu T. Thu Hà is a conceptual interdisciplinary artist who works primarily in film and photography. Born in Vietnam, she has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1997. She studied film and photography at the San Francisco Art Institute and City College of San Francisco, as well as wood technology and fine furniture building at Laney College in Oakland.
Vu’s 2006 community-driven and collaboratively-written feature film Kieu, running time 74 minutes, in English, with Vietnamese dialogue, was inspired by Vietnamese epic poem Truyen Kieu (The Tale of Kieu), by Nguyen Du. Kieu premiered in 2006 at the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival. Vu is the director of Each Night (2001) and Shut Up White Boy (2002). All of her films have been and continue to be screened nationally and internationally.
No Right Way 2 Cum
Sidsel Meineche Hansen
No dialogue, CGI Animation, 2015, 1:30min
The CGI animation No Right Way 2 Cum (2015) is a feminist ‘cum shot’ video featuring EVA v3.0, an avatar produced by freelance 3D designer Nikola Dechev, and purchased online by the artist. This production was made in response to the British Board of Film Classification’s ban on female ejaculation in UK-produced pornography and inspired by the sex-activist workshops on female ejaculation run by pro-sex feminists such as Deborah Sundahl and Susie Bright, the former editors of On Our Backs, the first lesbian erotica magazine run by women for women.
Sidsel Meineche Hansen is an artist with a materially and technologically diverse practice. Their work explores how things are made and industrially produced, addressing how bodies are shaped and constructed by technology, institutions, capitalism, and desire. Central to this inquiry is an examination of sexuality, labour, and subjectivity as mediated by digital tools and systems of control. Across different media, the work interrogates the commodification of gendered bodies and the accumulation of capital, while the often – invisible labour sustaining these economies is brought into view.
Meineche Hansen participated in the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, The Milk of Dreams (2022) and is a bursary recipient of the 2020 Turner Prize. Solo exhibitions of her work include: Christian Andersen, Copenhagen (2025); KIOSK, Ghent (2024 – 25); Ordet, Milan (2024); Somerset House Studios (online commission), 2025; gta exhibitions, Zurich, Édouard Montassut, Paris & Company Gallery, New York (2023); Bergen Kunsthall, Bergen (2021); Rodeo, London / Piraeus (2020); Center for Contemporary Arts, Prague (2019); Chisenhale Gallery, London (2019); SMK – The National Gallery of Denmark, Copenhagen (2019); KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin (2018); Kunsthal Aarhus (2018).
