well there is a line. but that line has a lot of shades of gray which are based on norms and values as well as cultural backgrounds and even religious backgrounds. actually it's not a line it's a flexible zone. a line is really black and white. but thing is in the end someone will always be offended. there is not other way. hence the elevator music reference. no one likes it but every one can sort of tolerate it but it's very blend and not outspoken. and sometimes it's good to push that line, to provoke. it's healthy for discussions you know. can't find the link anymore but there was this girl who photographed couples just after they had sex. less explicit as ashkan's work but still in a way porn. do you see that still as porn or do you see it as art?
"What if that was your sister on there?... or mother / father?"
this has nothing to do with the discussion. what if i wouldn't mind? what if my girlfriend is a pornstar and i'm fine with it? what if i don't have a father? what if? that's all personal. has nothing to do with it being art or not.
