FU PAY ME
DIRECTED BY MERCY ST J (VIVI STONE PICTURES)
2024 (English)
Two Amsterdam window workers are rudely interrupted by the ugliest sight imaginable: The Mayor’s Erotic Prison, a building where the evil city government wants to lock away sex workers for good! Eww! Luckily their domme friend knows the perfect solution: just sit on it!
Fuck You, Pay Me! is an artistic intervention to Amsterdam municipality’s mass closure of brothel windows across the Red Light District and the city's proposal of an “Erotic Center.” This short focuses on how whore bodies (and butts, more specifically) can be a powerful tool of resistance against the oppression of sex workers everywhere!
Fuck You, Pay Me! was filmed in former Red Light windows now owned by real estate company, Stadsgoed. The windows were squatted by Mokum Kraakt between 19 January-12 February 2024.
Endearingly called The Hoerenhuis, the squatted windows served as a creative studio and community organizing space for sex workers.
