Emotional Pussy

Indefinite Boundary is honored to present Love Under Will, the latest transmission from Pilar Talavera’s project Emotional Pussy. A performance artist, writer, and sound researcher, Pilar Talavera’s work as Emotional Pussy focuses on the distortion of autobiographical experiences from which she creates spoken-word pieces accompanied by sound collages. She is the producer and host of two radio programs: Rastros de Carmín on El Prat Radio and oruidoopoesiaon on Dublab (with Laura Renau). Her work has been presented at museums and festivals in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. She is currently working in parallel on her new alter ego, Dolores Oré, through her label, The Healing Ministry.

Talavera concedes that Emotional Pussy isn’t necessarily a music entity; in reality it’s mostly a personal channel for random blockages. Emotional Pussy is also not a final stop, but rather a pathway through which that sacred word: no, which, out of devotion, defines us, is expressed and redefined, intermittently and capriciously. In this way, we recycle the erupting volcano that our heart harbors, and with all those notions of “you won’t be able to” and “this isn’t for you” that are seared into our souls, we build the empire of a no that rejects, responds, and comes to our defense and protection. Emotional Pussy thus takes shape as a manifesto in the making, capable of dismantling and rebuilding itself through assaults, screams, poetry, and desire, which in turn manifest through rejection, frustration, body dysmorphia, pleasure, neurosis, love, and an immense, throbbing sense of no.

Love Under Will completes the cycle that began with Love Is the Law, released on the label Dê o Fora! in 2022. Turning both pieces into an ouroboros, symbolizing not the end, but rather the eternal cycle of things, the eternal struggle, or indeed the futile endeavours, since the cycle begins anew despite efforts to prevent it. Love Under Will  also expresses the unity of all things, both material and spiritual, which never disappear but rather change perpetually in a cycle of destruction and re-creation. The lyrics of these spoken-word pieces were, in most cases, composed just hours before being performed and form part of the book Bolsanegra (La Máquina, 2025).
