Art vs. Porn (reprise)
January 06, 2005
The age old debate of what is porn and what is art is always quietly burning in the background of my mind. Well – sort of. I used to think about it a lot, but these days I’ve gotten to a place of peace with the whole business. Or maybe that’s a nicer way to say, “Who gives a shit about labels anyway?”
The debate is not resolved in my head in many ways, although in one of my very first posts, I sort of decided that the difference is in the presentation and materials. Its all about context.
The differentiation has resurfaced a few times recently, and my new favorite things to think on are things said to me by two different photographers in the past week:
- “Porn is something you beat off to.”
- “Porn is something I wouldn’t show my mom.”
Of course there are holes in both of these, but most noticeable in the first comment, because I think perhaps it casts the net of porn too wide. What if you get off on cartoons? Then we move into new territory of fetish imagery vs. porn. More slippery slopes.
