POV is a saturation of viewpoints on bodies and images. POV is a meme, a cinematic visual device, and a tag on porn sites. POV is a performance, a book, and an anthropological thesis. POV is something that falls and shatters into a thousand pieces. It is a 15-second reel within the endless scrolling of the screen. POV is a failure embraced with grace — and also a declaration of love from madness.
