In a vast majority of cultures and societies, the model's pose would be considered provocative, the look in her eyes adding fuel to the fire. Personal threshold of what we consider acceptable or not, will be closely related to each individual's background: social norms in the area where they live, religious upbringing and education. In this case, I believe that this image crosses that threshold for a majority of the earth's population, thus officially making it "porn".

Something can be porn and a form of artistic expression at the same time though. Banana on a wall is still a banana, even if it's framed. Likewise, you can have a technically perfect porn and a technically bad art...

That the image in question is porn (to some)? 😁 That the image in question is art (to some)? 😁

I agree 100% as to the arousal. Porn is more controversial (obviously). Again, the line here is very thin and not clearly defined... as we have discussed before. Of course, it can be said that if someone finds it offensive, they don't have to look/admire/buy... Here is how I would sum it up: porn is porn, art is art. Sometimes the two may overlap (but not everyone will agree). But, porn will not stop being porn, even if it is considered artistic in some circles. And of course the opposite is true. If a group of people consider an image to be art, it will not stop being art (to them) even if others view it as porn. However, the social norms are a lot more lenient on what is considered art than the norms on what is regarded as porn...

All legit questions. The line is definitely evolving (not in the same way in different parts of the world). On which side do we work (from our point of view of course)? I guess our work is evolving along the same line, and it can shift in both directions... so the impact on our portfolio depends on the point in time we are at. No clear answer....

Full confession: We've been toying with the idea of creating a controversy too. There is a saying that we like: It does no matter what they say about you, as long as they are talking about you! There is alot of truth in it. But, we have to keep in mind that with every scandal we create, there come consequences. Some we may foresee, others may surprise us (in a good way or in a bad way). And our body of work will forever be marked by the scandal we create in search of recognition, fame and glory. On the other hand: the fortune favors the brave...

Yes, it is great to work as a pair! As for the choice of scandals... yes there needs to be some clear-minded thinking involved. But, in the end the result will be unpredictable in the long run.

Yes 👍 I’m curious what people will have to say about black holes in 30 years.

Lol they already are. Not sure if that’s the thing that will strike people most. What haunts me is that I created the project in 2016 after visiting Verdun because I believed the bombs would come back to Europe. And they did. And people don’t seem to understand how crazy that is. Apart from those living in Ukraine right now.

Constant news of war and death on nightly news has made people indifferent to horrors of the world. They are overloaded with information ( a lot of it being bad news) and they can't fully process all of it.
