"Buff"

For another class assignment, we were to look at a series by an artist and decide what it was that he was trying to express with it. The images he created were all screenshots or photos from pornography, except the people in the images were taken out, leaving nothing but a white silhouette.  I wrote this in response:

"BUFF"

I feel that the project that the artist that created the works of art for the collection "buff"  could have done what he did the achieve the following things:

• To prove a point about how people who are involved in porn don't want to be there and probably regret their pasts, and wish that they could erase that part of their lives.

• To protect the identity of probably mistreated women in porn, while still respecting that some people think of it as art, with the combination of photography and video work.  

• To make a point of "erasing" pornography in small scale, something that he wishes to bring large scale in order to stop the mistreatment of humans stuck in such a situation in which they would have to resort to such a thing.
