2020 was a mixed year: pandemic, economic recession – but also a year of porn and porn discourse.

The downside: according to the New York Times, the platform was flooded with rape videos, revenge porn and “authentic” depictions of violence. Reason enough to take a closer, genuinely cultural anthropological look at the pop-cultural medium of pornography with an exhibition curated by Peter Hörz.
