At the end of the summer, LA\u2019s David Kordansky Gallery made William E. Jones\u2019 seminal 1998 film <\/span>The Fall of Communism as Seen in Gay Pornography <\/span><\/i>available to view online<\/a> alongside an in-depth interview with the artist. It gave an insight into Jones\u2019 working process putting together the piece, as well as the context of the footage making up the film. Ranging from cityscapes resembling tourist information videos and bustling market squares, to impoverished people with hands outstretched to the camera begging. This acts as a set up for screen tests, interviews and casting for performers showing varying degrees of discomfort and coercion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Describing the wave of Eastern European gay pornography that flooded the US market following the dissolution of the USSR, Jones said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey were products of a crude imperialist enterprise: cheap and nasty looking, with an atmosphere of coercion and cultural misunderstanding pervading them. Customers adored these videos, and expressed their breathless admiration whenever given the chance\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":85999,"id":85999,"title":"MAP_Fall of Communism new still 01 copy","filename":"MAP_Fall-of-Communism-new-still-01-copy-e1603270243793.jpg","filesize":337515,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MAP_Fall-of-Communism-new-still-01-copy-e1603270243793.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/map_fall-of-communism-new-still-01-copy\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"map_fall-of-communism-new-still-01-copy","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2020-10-21 08:38:45","modified":"2020-10-21 08:50:45","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1500,"height":1123,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MAP_Fall-of-Communism-new-still-01-copy-e1603270243793.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MAP_Fall-of-Communism-new-still-01-copy-e1603270243793.jpg","medium-width":1500,"medium-height":1123,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MAP_Fall-of-Communism-new-still-01-copy-e1603270243793.jpg","medium_large-width":1500,"medium_large-height":1123,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MAP_Fall-of-Communism-new-still-01-copy-e1603270243793.jpg","large-width":1500,"large-height":1123,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MAP_Fall-of-Communism-new-still-01-copy-e1603270243793.jpg","1536x1536-width":1500,"1536x1536-height":1123,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MAP_Fall-of-Communism-new-still-01-copy-e1603270243793.jpg","2048x2048-width":1500,"2048x2048-height":1123,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MAP_Fall-of-Communism-new-still-01-copy-e1603270243793.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":16,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MAP_Fall-of-Communism-new-still-01-copy-e1603270243793.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1500,"wpvr_mobile-height":1123}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

The Fall\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/i>opens with a short clip of a young man in profile, undressing. He looks uncomfortable, alternating between staring forward and glancing in the direction of the camera, his eyes showing a mix of discomfort and contempt. Jones\u2019 voiceover states: <\/span>\u201ceven in an unlikely place, it is possible to find traces of recent history\u201d <\/span>followed by b-roll taken from the aforementioned porn films including maps of the former USSR, market scenes, beggars and street footage. Their purpose in the aforementioned films appears to be part exoticism and part poverty fetishism, attempting to show the former glory of the Eastern nations as an emphasis on their subsequent fall. They\u2019re an essential part of the set-up, speaking directly to what made this genre of pornography appealing to a western, primarily American, market. It\u2019s easy to comprehend the mixture of exploitation and exoticism that made these videos popular in the US, but Jones goes further, aiming to establish a firm link between the booming Western economy and a more global, less visible form of exploitation.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":85994,"id":85994,"title":"Fall of Communism 49 copy","filename":"Fall-of-Communism-49-copy-e1603270088963.jpg","filesize":210781,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-49-copy-e1603270088963.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-fall-of-communism-as-seen-in-gay-pornography\/fall-of-communism-49-copy\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"fall-of-communism-49-copy","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":85988,"date":"2020-10-21 08:38:22","modified":"2020-10-21 09:41:55","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1500,"height":1125,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-49-copy-e1603270088963.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-49-copy-e1603270088963.jpg","medium-width":1500,"medium-height":1125,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-49-copy-e1603270088963.jpg","medium_large-width":1500,"medium_large-height":1125,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-49-copy-e1603270088963.jpg","large-width":1500,"large-height":1125,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-49-copy-e1603270088963.jpg","1536x1536-width":1500,"1536x1536-height":1125,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-49-copy-e1603270088963.jpg","2048x2048-width":1500,"2048x2048-height":1125,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-49-copy-e1603270088963.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":16,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-49-copy-2730x2048.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":2730,"wpvr_mobile-height":2048}},{"ID":85997,"id":85997,"title":"Fall of Communism new still 05 copy","filename":"Fall-of-Communism-new-still-05-copy-e1603270203848.jpg","filesize":268621,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-05-copy-e1603270203848.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-fall-of-communism-as-seen-in-gay-pornography\/fall-of-communism-new-still-05-copy\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"fall-of-communism-new-still-05-copy","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":85988,"date":"2020-10-21 08:38:38","modified":"2020-10-30 10:02:41","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1500,"height":1125,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-05-copy-e1603270203848.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-05-copy-e1603270203848.jpg","medium-width":1500,"medium-height":1125,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-05-copy-e1603270203848.jpg","medium_large-width":1500,"medium_large-height":1125,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-05-copy-e1603270203848.jpg","large-width":1500,"large-height":1125,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-05-copy-e1603270203848.jpg","1536x1536-width":1500,"1536x1536-height":1125,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-05-copy-e1603270203848.jpg","2048x2048-width":1500,"2048x2048-height":1125,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-05-copy-e1603270203848.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":16,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-05-copy-e1603270203848.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1500,"wpvr_mobile-height":1125}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

The latter half of the film compounds the atmosphere of coercion, focusing specifically on the casting and screen tests of performers. The voice from behind the camera probes the subject on their sexual preferences, their motivations for being filmed:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m doing it for the money\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a very good reason\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Western audiences were turned on by the idea that the performers were under some form of duress\u2014the ostensibly straight man either consuming their sexuality through the guise of pornography, or in the case of several scenes, the performer showing visible discomfort at either the sex or the presence of the camera. The films are low budget, low production value and low brow\u2014by intention, rather than necessity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jones speculates that the developing Eastern European sex industry, with the influx of Western producers and a Western market in mind, could be seen as an indicator of fertile ground for fascist ideologies\u2014an aspersion confirmed by the global rise of far-right ideologies in tandem with the economic pressure of late-stage capitalism, a point at which more contemporary comparisons can be made.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":86000,"id":86000,"title":"Money_052 copy","filename":"Money_052-copy-e1603270257412.jpg","filesize":238855,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Money_052-copy-e1603270257412.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-fall-of-communism-as-seen-in-gay-pornography\/money_052-copy\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"money_052-copy","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":85988,"date":"2020-10-21 08:38:53","modified":"2020-10-30 10:01:56","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1500,"height":1125,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Money_052-copy-e1603270257412.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Money_052-copy-e1603270257412.jpg","medium-width":1500,"medium-height":1125,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Money_052-copy-e1603270257412.jpg","medium_large-width":1500,"medium_large-height":1125,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Money_052-copy-e1603270257412.jpg","large-width":1500,"large-height":1125,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Money_052-copy-e1603270257412.jpg","1536x1536-width":1500,"1536x1536-height":1125,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Money_052-copy-e1603270257412.jpg","2048x2048-width":1500,"2048x2048-height":1125,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Money_052-copy-e1603270257412.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":16,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Money_052-copy-2730x2048.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":2730,"wpvr_mobile-height":2048}},{"ID":85995,"id":85995,"title":"Fall of Communism new still 03 copy","filename":"Fall-of-Communism-new-still-03-copy-e1603270144940.jpg","filesize":181570,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-03-copy-e1603270144940.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/fall-of-communism-new-still-03-copy\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"fall-of-communism-new-still-03-copy","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2020-10-21 08:38:31","modified":"2020-10-21 08:49:06","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1500,"height":1125,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-03-copy-e1603270144940.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-03-copy-e1603270144940.jpg","medium-width":1500,"medium-height":1125,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-03-copy-e1603270144940.jpg","medium_large-width":1500,"medium_large-height":1125,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-03-copy-e1603270144940.jpg","large-width":1500,"large-height":1125,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-03-copy-e1603270144940.jpg","1536x1536-width":1500,"1536x1536-height":1125,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-03-copy-e1603270144940.jpg","2048x2048-width":1500,"2048x2048-height":1125,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-03-copy-e1603270144940.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":16,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Fall-of-Communism-new-still-03-copy-e1603270144940.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1500,"wpvr_mobile-height":1125}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"blockquote","text":"It\u2019s possible to map an aesthetic of late-stage capitalism through the content and marketing of contemporary internet pornography.","source":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

In the twenty two years since Jones\u2019 film, the porn industry has changed dramatically. With the ubiquity of high speed internet, our consumption of pornography has been hypernormalised. Attacks on sexually explicit material feel less common, save for transparent and obviously baiting hot takes from morons like Ben Shapiro, we are more accepting and open in regard to sex work, although this openness tends to apply more to digital forms of sex work and less so to IRL ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

This development comes alongside the establishment and subsequent consuming of stable working life by the gig economy. Film or cyber-sex work, when concealed in the shiny aesthetics of the late-capitalist rulebook, has been gathering more widespread acceptance – the least invasive forms of which could be considered cam sites like <\/span>Chaturbate<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u00a0and subscription services like <\/span>OnlyFans<\/a>. <\/span><\/i>While this doesn’t account for the significant stigma, risk of violence and criminalisation of sex workers IRL, it does create an augmented social perspective on digital sex work.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the same way that Jones pointed to the Western exploitation of the USSR through the production and exportation of pornography, it\u2019s possible to map an aesthetic of late-stage capitalism through the content and marketing of contemporary internet pornography.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The non-hierarchical potential of platforms prioritising user-generated content has been mitigated by the competition of an unregulated market. Those with the skills and time to spend marketing their channel are more likely to reach a greater audience and market share, meaning performers incapable of doing so have their labour devalued, working more for a lower income.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"blockquote","text":"The non-hierarchical potential of platforms prioritising user-generated content has been mitigated by the

Even at this early stage, we can see a democratised industrial structure falling prey to capitalist tropes. Cross-marketing between Instagram, OnlyFans, cam sites and the pre-existing porn industry creates the potential for diversified streams of income but equally instigates the potential for exploitation of performers and sex workers. As the description of content creator becomes more applicable, the content created becomes of less importance\u2014the structure begins to mirror influencers, with growth and engagement becoming paramount. In the case of <\/span>OnlyFans<\/span> we can see musicians, comedians and designers utilising the platform\u2019s subscription based payment structure to reach potential audiences, oftentimes mixing NSFW content alongside something more traditionally associated with influencer culture on Twitter or Instagram. <\/span><\/p>\n

Herein lies the pervasive issue of capitalism and the effectiveness of contemporary internet pornography as an aesthetic marker for it. Those with the largest following will generate the largest income (speaking generally, there will always be room for creators satisfying niche markets) and a set of guidelines on how to reach said larger audiences will be established.<\/span><\/p>\n

The same class discussion applied to the arts could prove useful here. Having time to learn, fail and grow oneself on these platforms necessitates a level of freedom to be able to do so in the first place.
