2426F is a 40-minute immersive torture film born from the imagination and desires of Cherry Velour, made reality in collaboration with Bedside Productions in Copenhagen. Culled from over four hours of continuous, unbroken performance, the film represents Cherry’s most intimate and uncompromising expression of her submissive fantasies - where agency is deliberately surrendered, and personhood is reduced to an object of use, of spectacle, of destruction.

The work is filmed through the impersonal lens of security cameras and handheld footage, evoking the aesthetic of abduction, interrogation, and institutional violence. The only name given to the subject is a crude marking: “2426F” scrawled across her chest. She is no longer a person. She is a number. A designation. A product.

And yet, this film is not about cruelty for its own sake. 2426F is about the radical politics of consent. It interrogates the assumptions we place on agency, on violence, and on visibility. Though the film depicts Cherry’s breakdown, her degradation, and her total dehumanisation, it is also - paradoxically - a profound act of self-possession. She made this film. She asked for it. She shaped every frame. And it was created with intense care, love, and negotiated trust.

Screenings of 2426F are often accompanied by artist talks or facilitated discussions, in which Cherry explores the ethical dimensions of power exchange, the tension between feminist embodiment and consensual masochism, and how acts of surrender can be expressions of autonomy rather than its erasure.

“People assume that violence lives in the act. But I believe violence lives in the absence of consent. This film might look violent, but it’s also one of the most loving things I’ve ever made. Nothing in it happened to me - it happened for me.”
