 The artist’s intention was to create an ironic, desecrating celebration of the system of contemporary art with an "overtone of parody" and using references to cinema.Corte created the "Art Brothel" series in 1995, the year of the Venice Biennale centenary, so it is not surprising that this celebration is his first ironic reference.On the backstage of an actual film set, where Corte worked as a scenographer and actor, a group of professional male, female and transgender high-class prostitutes plays in sequences that allude to well-known paintings, techniques or artistic trends chronicling the history of art.
