In her research, artist AnnaMaria Pinaka uses the term 'porno-graphing' to group together and examine lens-based artworks where artists use material sexual situations or sets of sexual dynamics present in their lives and independent of their practices, to make art. Pinaka considers how artists act upon these sexual situations, the art-results they produce, and their means of sharing them with an audience. These situations and dynamics share commonalities as they can be regarded as ‘taboo’ or ‘transgressive’; also, in that artists use them to underline the ‘dirtiness’ or ‘wrongness’ of their sexual and artistic subjectivities. Pinaka argues that in porno-graphing, artists negotiate how subjectivity, and its value, is produced by self-submitting into the ‘dirtiness’ of sexual and artistic positions. To approach the ‘dirtiness’ of these works as well as their processes, Pinaka uses, amongst other theories and strategies, the notion of ‘queer negativity’.
