Fuck For Forest: Performance Art Sex Terrorism

Posted Mar 23, 2007 7 comments

I seriously love these kids.  I like people who inspire me to push the envelope further, I like people who can be goofy and refuse to take themselves seriously, and I like people who work hard for a positive future.  I am also rather fond of sex.

These folks combine everything I love into a tidy bundle of Earth-conscious full penetration, and best of all, they do it in slightly broken English.  It’s adorable yo!!! There is almost nothing that cracks me up more than Europeans grappling with English, except maybe watching these Korean girls do Karaoke. Seriously...check out Tommy Hol Ellingsen, explaining the philosophy behind Fuck For Forest:

“Porn makes really, really a lot of money, so why not use that money for good?”

Does the man have a point or what?  Who doesn’t want to make really, really a lot of money?  But hold on, hold on...there could be a lot of people out there who’ve got no idea what I’m ranting about right now, so:

Fuck For Forest is a very small group of environmental activists—basically just Ellingsen and his vixen lil’ girlfriend, Leona Johansson—who make some truly weird pornography.  Midgets doing double penetration scenes is one thing, but watching two kids give a lecture about environmental devastation then start fucking like the happiest, most uncivilized monkeys on Earth...well, it gives a man pause. Makes him wonder if he’s missing something important, you know?

Are They Insane or Are You The Real Pussy?

I contemplate starting up a porn business enough as it is (you should see the photos I get in my email and someday you might) but these kids might just push me over the edge.  After, who am I to complain about the depressing and sadistic state of modern pornography when I’m not making my own? How close to the edge am I, anyway? How many bad days or strange nights away are you?

Let’s all take a second to chew on some more words from Ellingsen—and I swear to god I’m not making these typos up, look for yourself:

HOW WE GOT GET THE IDEE FOR FFF?

Why are not people panicking and running screaming to save nature, before it is too late? This is harder to understand.

We were getting more and more frustrated about the world. We got more depressed by the day. We could not sleep anymore. It seems like war and suppression is more important than saving nature. Sexuality and nature is connected. We are basically here because of sex. But open sexuality is often looked down on as something dirty and strange. We felt sexuality was treated like nature, with disrespect. So why not use pure, open-minded sexuality to put focus on this un-natural way of treating this planet?

Than again, maybe it’s just because of the faces that Leona makes.  There’s something so pure about her enthusiasm it makes me want to gobble a sheet of acid and go dance around in a field somewhere.  When did I get so domesticated? How did it sneak up on me like this?  Yeah, there’s some nights where I think They Got Me, but the real secret is that our cages are never locked.  You can ask questions, you can blame yourself, you can panic and get angry—or you can just smile and crawl out and get back to being the weirdo you always was.  Best of all, you can choose to do that right now.

Best Publicity Stunt Ever? Yes.

If Fuck For Forest sounds familiar, it’s probably because they walked onstage at the biggest music festival in Norway—a stage that had also featured Slipknot, Morrisey, Pharell Williams and Franz Ferdinand—and gave a short talk about imminent environmental destruction.  The crowd was a little restless up until Ellingen asked “How far are you willing to go to save the world?” and his lady friend took her shirt off.

They had no idea what they were in for, even if they did.  I’m unclear or wether or not their stunt was a world record—I seem to remember Britany Spears and Madonna having sex onstage at some point in the past decade—but a sustained 10 minutes of Feral Hippie Animalfuck isn’t something anyone could be really prepared for. 

Obviously, this made headlines all around the world.  The notoriety and the fines were worth it, because apparently their website made $100,000 US last year.  Hilariously, every major environmental charity has refused their money, becuase they are lying whores who lack the balls and commitment to actually save the world.  Because of this, FFF has taken the admirable step of working directly with indiginous people and activist law firms. 

They’ve moved their operations to Berlin, Germany, and Ellingsen is definitely improving on the English tip, recently stating:

“A lot of environmental organizations are too boring, too serious. It scares people away. It’s possible to use irony and play around with this negative information about the state of the world and still get the information out without being too radical or angry. It’s important to have fun.”

If you’d like to get involved, FFF would like to have you join the cause.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, KIDS
