A short experimental work by the artist cavecanems, whose title functions as an instruction, a confession, and probably neither.

Cavecanems titled their film 'how to get rid of a fetish.' with a period — that period is doing enormous emotional labor — and then made something 19,000 people watched without a press release.
Less than two minutes of net-art with hashtags including #vore #foot #sneaker and a comment thread of 'instructions unclear, fapped harder' — this is a Tumblr-era artifact whose interest is mostly anthropological at this point.
96 seconds, Vimeo-tagged with vore/sneakerhead/dentist/foot, by an artist named cavecanems — the lowercase title with the period is doing work, but the page gives me almost nothing else. Curious by virtue of mystery.
