They may sound like a joke, but Jon Haddock has produced two powerful works of art using pornographic images as a source. In ISPs (Internet Sex Photos), the participants are removed, leaving only the setting for the sex scene--tawdry hotel rooms, an undergarment--and an eerie feeling. In a followup, 288 Pictures of Anna Amore, Haddock constructs collages using only images of the porn star's eyes.
