You push yourself off the heavy entrance door to the exhibition Tilda Swinton – Ongoing at the Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam, like a swimmer diving into silky water. Gurgling sounds echo through the space, greeting new visitors. Tilda Swinton’s voice slithers into your ears from the dark unknown.

Regardless of the medium or time period, pornography functions as a transmitter of societal ideas and values.
