Dancer in the Russian Ballet and choreographer, as well as collaborator in The Factory, Wakefield Poole is also the precursor of porno chic and director of gay film classics,  Boys in the Sand (1971), Bijou (1972), and an unusual camp adaptation of The Bible (1973). Prior to the heterosexual porn movies made by Damiano or The Michell Brothels, Boys in the Sand won immediate recognition, and marked, in terms of language and codification, the future of the pornographic genre.

In dialogue Mauricio González's piece, Beatriz Preciado presents a reading of the grammars of porn cinema since Wakefield Poole, questioning the divisions between the pornographic and non pornographic genres, as well as between audio-visual identities. Far from any moralist approach, the purpose is here to relocate pornography within a wider history of the techniques of the body and  the image in movement.
