The exhibition and catalogue “The Porn Identity” provides an exhausting overview over the intersections between pornography, contemporary art and cultural studies. The book thus serves as a useful introduction into the field. At the same time, its indulgence in in-your-face pornographical imagery combined with seemingly gender-politically correct statements is just sleazy as actual pornography. This turns the catalogue into a coherent conceptual art work, and puts some question marks behind the porn studies discourse.
