XXX — Objects Exposing Porn Language (2022)
Concept & Design: Demi Meijer
Editorial Photography: Joost Termeer
This project explores how the language used in mainstream* porn titles, often aggressive and rooted in male fantasy, shapes our perceptions of sex and gender. By placing decontextualized titles from popular categories like incest or rape porn onto everyday objects such as a washing machine, milk bottle, or toilet roll, I highlight how normalized this language has become. The work questions why these narratives are accepted and how they reflect deeper power dynamics between men and women in both media and real life.
*pornographic videos found on popular tube sites that intend to arouse a (middle-class) male audience sexually whose ratio is often male to female
