Annie Sprinkle & Beth Stephens
Annie Sprinkle was a long-time sex worker who was a pivotal player in the 1980’s sex positive feminist movement. Beth Stephens early work explored lesbian and queer culture. After they got together, they married the Earth in a public ceremony in 2008 then came out as ecosexual. They created an Ecosex Manifesto which launched an international ‘ecosex movement.’ They aim to make the environmental movement more sexy, fun and diverse through collaborative art projects. Their work has been shown internationally, including at Museum Kunstpalast (Düsseldorf), Museo Reina Sophia (Madrid), Museum of Modern Art (New York), 53rd Venice Biennale, and Documenta 14.

The One Minutes
Imagine The Earth Is Your Lover is a collaboration between The One Minutes and Maastricht Institute of Arts and was made possible by the support of Amsterdam Fund for the Arts. The One Minutes Foundation produces and distributes one-minute videos from an artistic point of view, offering an international stage for people to create, engage and connect. The One Minutes is active at the forefront of international contemporary art, as well as in education and welfare. And has exhibited amongst others at Power Station of Art (CN), National Gallery of Iceland in Reykjavík (IS) and Whitney Museum of American Art in New York (USA). Every month, The One Minutes Foundation puts out a new series of 60-second films that investigate how we perceive and engage with moving image. Museums and cultural organisations around the world subscribe to the series. Please send in your videos and participate in the project!
