The photobook draws on found vintage erotica sourced from eBay auctions. The seller placed British pound coins over the genitalia of the subjects, ostensibly to protect the photographs against unauthorised reproduction, an act of censorship, crude and absurd, that becomes the focal point of the book. The coins, bearing the face of Queen Elizabeth II, take on conceptual weight as Pogo appropriates the images in a commentary on censorship, value and control, asking how value is assigned, bodies are controlled and art is protected in the digital realm.
