Claudio Pogos’ £ 146,- presents a compelling and provocative engagement with the intersection of erotic imagery, digital commodification, and the politics of ownership. The photobook draws on found vintage erotica, sourced from eBay auctions, and appropriates these intimate photographs in a commentary on censorship, value, and control. What sets the book apart is Pogos’ engagement with the photographs’ pre-existing marks: the eBay seller’s decision to place British pound coins over the genitalia of the subjects, ostensibly for protection against unauthorized reproduction. This act of censorship—simultaneously crude and absurd—becomes the focal point of Pogos’ work. The coins, bearing the face of Queen Elizabeth II, are not merely functional but have a conceptual weight that transforms the images into something far more complex. The seller’s placement of these coins, which is as much an act of safeguarding as it is an absurd gesture, takes on a new life in Pogos’ hands. Ultimately, £ 146,- challenges its viewers to reflect on the ways in which value is assigned, bodies are controlled, and art is protected in the digital realm. Pogo creates a visually striking narrative that speaks to the complex, often uncomfortable intersections of sex, power, and commerce.
