I Love the Smell of My Pussy is Krista Papistaโs new feminist Sordid Pop anthem, taken from her recent anti-nationalist album Sultana.
In collaboration with intrepid performance artist Florentina Holzinger Berlin-based filmmakers Ouroboros – the music video was shot
on the set of Holzingerโs show Apollon with her all-naked female
cast including Florentina herself, integrating Krista centre-stage in Apollonโs iconic visual landscapes, styled by Spyros Droussiotis.
I Love the Smell of My Pussy is a celebration of both artists Florentina
and Krista; a homage to Holzingerโs piece Apollon, and the dialogue it
has with Papista as a performer and narrator of the song. Papista shares a nostalgic tale of her adolescent queer sexual fantasies, confessing she only hung out with her friend because of a crush for her mother, idealising womanhood via a daughterโs romantic gaze.
When we got real tight; baby I was in love with your mother.
Through the lens of her youth, Papistaโs reflective queer-girl diary expresses an awakening dissatisfaction growing up and navigating her place in a hetero-patriarchal and post-colonial society, with a keen interest in the sensual and sexual changes she is experiencing.

lyrics:
FOIA ME
WHEN WE GOT REAL TIGHT,
BABY I WAS IN LOVE WITH YOUR MOTHER
WHEN I WAS BORN, YOU WERE NOWHERE
MY MUM WAS SO YOUNG,
SHE DROVE LIKE A STAR
THOSE TEENAGE GIRLS WERE A NIGHTMARE,
THEY FUCKED ME TOO YOUNG,
THEY STOLE MAMAโS CAR
THAT CRAZY NOISE WAS THE SOUNDTRACK
WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR SEXUALITY?
IN THE DEPTHS OF OUR SENSUALITY
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE LONGING OF A MORE COMPLEX HEROINE?
THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS OF THE 21ST CENTURY
THE UNPLEASANT ECHOES OF THE COLONIAL PAST,
BABY I FEEL YOU
THE UNPLEASANT ECHOES OF THE PATRIARCHAL PAST,
BABY I KNOW YOU
YOUโVE BEEN SINGING THIS SONG FOR A WHILE
The video features Krista Papista in artistic frames with a topless woman in an open white shirt against swirling skies. She later appears with a green electric guitar in a black slip dress and boots. It culminates in three nude figures raising their arms in a dramatic, ritualistic pose.
