“I, as an artist, am interested in how we define ourselves as people, how we interact with each other, and what the dynamics of power in relationships are,” says Franco. “Even though a lot of people might not engage in some of the activities that the people at Kink do, I think there’s something about the dynamics at play that speak to something more universal. That’s probably one of the things that people find interesting about Fifty Shades of Grey, too. While a lot of the readers haven’t had the experiences detailed in that book, there’s something that’s drawing them to it. I think that sex and sexuality are topics of endless exploration.”
