We end the season with a bang — on the popular Danish island of Pornø.
To mark half a century since Denmark became the first country to legalise visual pornography, this episode takes a deep dive into arty porn and pornographic art.
Up first, we meet Rasmus Stenbakken, the curator of Art & Porn, a major new exhibition at the ARoS art museum in Aarhus that looks at cultural creativity, freedom of expression and art in the age of pornography.
Then we talk to Anne Sofie Steen Sverdrup of Copenhagen-based porn production company Bedside Productions. She wants society to take porn more seriously as a cultural product — and even went in front of the camera to show how it should be done.
