Post Modern Gothic

Project 3

 

"Defining Monstrosity". In this project my goal was to make a counter argument to all the things found to be scary about modern monsters. There is something about seeing people with deformities on the street that causes us to recoil a little bit and feel uncomfortable, like perhaps we shouldn't look and definately don't stare. When we see these same deformites on monsters in movies we resent them and are scared by them. In this movie I wanted to show that sad link and invite my class to debate on rather or not hollywood monsters have influenced the way we feel about people with real deformites. Really this idea was initiallly something a lot longer and less cool I think, but either way, I think it's a little post-modern food for thought.
