- Summary
- In her research, Pinaka uses the term 'porno-graphing' to group together and examine lens-based artworks where artists use material sexual situations or sets of sexual dynamics present in their lives and independent of their practices, to make art. Pinaka considers how artists act upon these sexual situations, the art-results they produce, and their means of sharing them with an audience. These situations and dynamics share commonalities as they can be regarded as ?taboo? or ?transgressive?; also, in that artists use them to underline the ?dirtiness? or ?wrongness? of their sexual and artistic subjectivities. For example, Kathy Acker with Alan Sondheim, after recognising the sexual dynamic between them as work-material, they act upon it to make art (instead of treating it as private enjoyment) and to do so they self-objectify into certain roles. In the Blue Tape, discussions of art, romantic love and phenomenology are talked-through video sequences of sexual stimulation and negation as a way of deliberating and reorganizing meaning and value.
