Reclamation

Top: Two drag queens reveling in the destruction of a medieval-style castle. Bottom: "medieval destruction, modern styles; masculine figure in feminine dress; reversal of society's roles; castle/old structures set alight, knight trampled; beauty, comedy, & sex appeal in destruction & overthrow; queer taking back identities? taking lives back into own control"
Top: Alexander McQueen & Isabella Blow: Burning Down the House, by David LaChapelle, 1996. Chromogenic print. Lapham’s Quarterly: Revolutons, Volume VII, Number 2, Spring 2014, p. 43.
Bottom: Notes and observations on the image in my red notebook: “medieval destruction, modern styles; masculine figure in feminine dress; reversal of society’s roles; castle/old structures set alight, knight trampled; beauty, comedy, and sex appeal in destruction and overthrow; queer taking back identities? taking lives back into own control”
