porn collection, 2023







'Porn Collection' is a visual exploration of pornography manifested through a series
of mixed-media and collage prints, appropriated from vintage Hustler
magazines.
Engaging in a dialogue between physical and digital manipulation techniques, Lauren delves into the complexities of societal constructs surrounding the portrayal of women and the body within the realm of mainstream, androcentric pornography.
Through appropriating the imagery from magazines tailored for male consumption, Lauren reshapes, and deconstructs the narratives they perpetuate, abstracting the female form and challenging the false narratives of sexual liberation, emancipating it from the confines of male desire.
Lauren offers a visual deconstruction of the typical "pornographic" image, reimagining the female body as something more complex than its reduction to objectified sexual pleasure. The resulting works are designed to provoke conversation, not only about the representations
of women in pornography but also about the broader implications for feminist discourse.

The artist encourages viewers to confront their own assumptions about sex, power, and media representation, encouraging a more nuanced discussion on the ways in which women's bodies are commodified, politicised, and consumed in contemporary society.
This project is not a critique of pornography - it is an exploration of the ways that art can deconstruct, reimagine, and challenge the visual culture we inherit.
