Timeline

2018

Ingratitude (2018) is a labyrinthic monologue. While he is digging up a file of newspaper clippings, Sotos ruminates his personal history. Analyzing the reports, Sotos is trying to revisit the primal input of his obsession with sex crimes as well as give up to self-hatred.

2017

A selection of Sotos' paper archives has been shown for the first time in 2017 at the New Galerie in Paris.

2015

In his movie Love (2015), the Argentine film director Gaspar Noé shows Lazy, one of Sotos' books, in the hero's bookshelves. The American writer is also thanked in the closing credits.

2012

Pure Filth (2012) dives into transcripts the gonzo movies porn star Jamie Gillis produced during the '90s. Gillis adds an introduction to each transcript.

2008

Dealing with sex offenders and the art of photography, Lordotics (2008) is revisiting previous Sotos' writings as snapshots, creating pornography from reviewing pornography.

2007

Show Adult (2007), uses pornography as a Skinner box experiment and co-opts the behaviorist methodology of psychologist Harry Harlow in a new work which goes beyond pornography to investigate the very experience of pornography itself. The book also analyzes the TV shows Supernanny and To Catch a Predator as publicly acceptable forms of child pornography.

2005

Predicate (2005) explores the Dunblane Massacre in Scotland in 1996 and the motives and life of the perpetrator Thomas Watt Hamilton. Other topics covered include Operation Ore, the Wonderland murders, Russian orphanages, Megan's Law, and non-nude teen websites.

Compendium of newspaper extracts reporting on subjects such as the painting Myra by Marcus Harvey, Lazy (1999) is giving thought to public fascination with sex crimes.

1996

Half an autofiction half a survey based on newspaper clippings, Index (1996) sinks in perversion, violence and sex abuses, testifying of a declining culture.
