Artist Ben Lunato is being prosecuted under an insane new Dutch law which holds that creating a sexual image amounts to raping someone. He may be in prison for a year. Europe has entered a rancorous mood, willing to throw its freedoms into the bargain, to sink back into the clay. We seized this moment to embark with Ben Lunato on a journey through the world of whores who, in our strange world, appear to have become the bearers of truth—arriving in Los Angeles, where we meet the art dealer Stefan Simchowitz, and, of course, whores.
