Annie Sprinkle — 101 Hazards of Sex
Annie Sprinkle

101 Hazards of Sex

"101 Hazards of Sex" by Annie Sprinkle is a vibrant screenprint rendered in colors on pre-painted yellow aluminum sign stock, mimicking the aesthetic of official warning or cautionary signage. The work channels Sprinkle's signature sex-positive and provocative sensibility, transforming the familiar visual language of public safety notices into a bold commentary on sexuality, risk, and societal taboo. The use of industrial sign material grounds the piece in an ironic tension between institutional authority and the radical, liberating subject matter it presents.
