Pornography, in a way, was the subject of another of Tanja’s projects. "Looking for a husband with an EU-passport" represented the situation of a woman born outside of the borders of the EU and offering her body – well, probably more than her body – for the kind of freedom and security an EU-passport promises. This is the kind of commerce of women that has been a tradition for some centuries now. Dealing one’s dignity for social security, or – if everything goes well – even for some more degrees of freedom. In the concrete form Tanja chose (fictitious marriage to get the citizenship of another state), it is forbidden nowadays – but not to protect women from indignity but to protect states from new citizens.
