The artwork “Pure Porn” comprises 10 soap bars presented in glass boxes. Nine of them feature graphic transfers of found adult photos, while the tenth soap was used, and the image disappeared, leaving only dried soap bubbles visible after the washing process. The source images were discovered at a flea market, presenting a series of homemade-style porn photos. Encased in jewel-like boxes, the soaps raise questions about washing the image of pornography by going beyond a simple depiction of a sexual.
