During the exhibition "Apartment" at plateforme, Paris,  Emmanuelle Dagnaud and I ( Dual Domestique) decided to provide a Concierge service.
We had two guests request our service. (above : photographs & card designed by Emmanuelle Dagnaud.)

Night 1: Guest testimony (The following testimony has been modified by a guest to suit their imagination.)

"That morning, John received an email from M, who required his escorting services for a rather unusual mission. It involved participating in a piece of artistic research, by becoming a living art object within an ephemeral gallery called 'the Apartment'.

John should participate in a dinner with three women - this did not displease him and, more to the point, even excited him. One of the three women was S, and it was agreed that she would be the second living actor of this gallery. When John arrived, he discovered a dinner had been prepared with care by these three women, who waited  impatiently to discover each of his reactions. All three had the intense sensuality of experienced women.

M had a mysterious Asian charm. B was a woman with an assumed and uninhibited sensuality. S had a classic and reserved style, which suggested a torrid sensuality locked up in her body which could explode under the caresses of a clever lover.

They dined together, discussing many topics. John already felt excitement rising in him, but knew it was necessary to calm down and remain professional. The discussion gradually shifted to of all kinds of topics regarding sexuality. John talked about his different experiences with women and couples. For a moment, John believed that the three women were going to abuse his body in an orgiastic trio. He had the impression that they wanted him and that each of them wanted to seize him. But it was not so - B and M took leave, leaving S and John alone.

John put on erotic music and suggested that S dance with him. Their bodies came together and made acquaintances with a swinging rhythm that made them feel an attraction, that S had not felt for a very long time. She felt his bandaged sex hurrying against her belly, burning and vigorous. Time then seemed to stop, while the strength of her desire communicated to her like a flame. She gently moved her hips, pressing more against him, and he uttered a muffled groan. A multitude of caresses followed, whereby the two lovers exchanged themselves in a whirlwind of kisses. The charm of the apartment turned into a living gallery, making the moment magical and timeless. Both bodies participated in a work of art, in a reality that none would ever know, beyond their own unique joyful remembrance.

Night 2 : "Japanese" night

Night 2:  Guest Testimony

"Hello Miki and Emmanuelle,

I really enjoyed our evening because it was under the sign of relaxation and conviviality. The idea of relaxation pleased me because it was very much in keeping with the role of the apartment as a place to relax after a day of work. In terms of my personal physical feelings, I am more dubious about the outcome of the massage.

Dinner on the bed helped make this moment a serene slice of life . I especially liked the pictures of loving intimacy with Emmanuelle. It was obviously without ulterior motive from me since I am "engaged", but it was great.

Our exchanges were very human rather than intellectual, which is why I will remember this evening essentially as very pleasant. And in life, this should happen to us more often and be part of our art of living, a lifestyle art ..."
Ghislain Mollet-Viéville


Dual Domestic (Emmanuelle Dagnaud & Miki Nitadori) received Ghislain Mollet-Viéville as our second guest for one night in the apartment. He requested a Japanese dinner and conversation. I decided that it would be interesting to give him a ritual before the dinner. I washed his feet with salt and then gave him an amateur Jin Shin Jyutsu treatment. He relaxed and we ate Sushi on the bed. Emmanuelle and Ghislain enjoyed talking about about their families and where they grew up, as they seemed to come from the same area and culture. Ghislain told me that I should know much more about art and artists in this category of practice, as he heard from other people that I am brilliant. I challenged him in his knowledge of diverse places in the world and culture. He seemed not to know much, which I thought was a shame.  He asked to be left alone at 10:30pm. We left as planned.
