POV: Exploring Pornucopia
Berta Grau Sánchez
A video essay narrates a visit to Pornhub, offering a feminist and critical view on adult material.
POV: Exploring Pornucopia is a video essay structured as a narrated visit to Pornhub. Subverting the website’s interface and the footage within it, it exposes the pornographic image as mediated, uncovering its deployment of serial formulas designed to turn our agency off as much as they turn us on. Appropriating the genre’s vernacular, the point of view referenced in the title shifts from the traditional male perspective to the designer’s feminist standpoint. This invites the audience to engage critically with adult material and to recognize the cognitive tension between what we think about pornography and how it makes us feel.
