For a while pornography might have been considered, theorised and experienced as revolutionary, but now, diluted by commodification, it has to be faced not as sensual immersion but as senseless indetermination. Pornography is the world around us: the pounding of mindnumbing images masquerading as fun and the endless urging to join the consumer festivities. So when Sturtevant reworks an entire advertising video in the form of deftly composed wallpaper, it’s a killer.
