Initial Thoughts

I like the idea of deceiving the people viewing the exhibition, sort of like ‘the emperor with no clothes’ story. Porn is generally considered to be of lower cultural worth because it panders to our carnal desires rather than any aesthetic, emotional or intellectual compulsions. I want the result to be the viewers some how condoning porn in appreciating my product, unaware of the true content.

Using porn as a device, I want my end product to possess glamour and flair. As well as being portrayed as sleazy and dirty, porn posses its own inherent glamour, probably as a result of it’s hey day and its mainstream success in the 60’s.

I want the end product to be something beautiful – a piece of art in its own right. I was really inspired by the work of Wood Mcgrath when they came in to speak to us.
