Under the blanket
Poetic films about your intimacy and love
What is it?
I create intimate, sensual films for couples and partners, treating closeness as a living artwork rather than a performance. Through conversation, curiosity, and a touch of playful ritual, we follow the thread of your shared myth — whether it unfolds as metaphor, memory, fantasy, or simply an honest moment together.
The Heart of the Process
Raw Beauty
I am drawn to real bodies in their truth — trembling, soft, unpredictable, alive. Skin, breath, sweat, pauses, awkwardness, hunger, tenderness — nothing is staged, nothing is perfected. Instead of polishing reality, we let it pulse.
Your Couple’s Myth
Every relationship has its own ecosystem — inside jokes, power dynamics, recurring dramas, tenderness, symbols, favorite places, shared fantasies. We uncover these elements and turn them into a visual language that belongs only to you.
Time That Belongs to You
You don’t need to act or impress anyone; this is time to be yourselves, to explore, to laugh, to hesitate, to melt, to surprise each other. I hold a gentle, respectful space and witness what emerges, transforming real connection into visual poetry.
What it can be?
Before filming, we listen for what wants to take shape between you. The film doesn’t follow a fixed script — its form grows from your mood, your memories, your desires, and the moment you are living now. It may unfold in many ways:
- a ritual of closeness or transition
- an embodied fantasy
- an honest slice of your everyday intimacy
- a visual love letter to each other
- a journey to a meaningful place
- a shared memory brought back to life
About me
Daria Lukina
Director
For a long time I filmed dance, performance, and visual poetic stories. Working with bodily metaphors and processes has always been my priority.
Creating structure and storyline and then becoming a witness to unfolding magic — that’s what I love.
But one of the problems was always clothing. I tell them — come in neutral pants! And they still show up in Adidas stripes and inside-out T-shirts with a Coca-Cola label shining through on their chest.
But I’ve found a solution. Poetic art-porn brings together everything I love so much: the human body and bare skin, process, imperfection, sexuality, mythology and visual poetry, intimacy, the state of witnessing, mystery. And video, of course.
