The film rocky horror picture show continues to be of relevance to my practice. I believe its outrageous and flamboyant depictions queer culture were ground breaking. I feel it captures this dark and burlesque sense of queer macabre in a way that no other film would be able to replicate. I have included some screen caps and GIFs from the film as this is the kind of imagery which inspires and steers my visual vocabulary as I try to capture its essence in my own work.
I find that my creativity is heavily inspired by queer videography and musicals such as Rocky Horror, Rent and The Book of Mormon. These films, through their messages and outrageous depictions of all things camp and their celebration of it, make me feel a sense of community and creativity that is difficult to put into words hence finding a more visual vocation for these feelings.
