Statement of intent

Inspiration: Defying gender normalities.

For this NFT we have decided we want to highlight the fact that people are expected to look a certain way based on their gender/sexuality.

We decided that we were going to make a film but also include images that I will have taken by the time we shoot the film. We also decided that we are going to add the images in between the scenes. This would be seen as a glimpse into what was going through our model’s head, but also foreshadows what will happen by the end of our film.

Celebrities that have already done this:

Recently the red carpet is often the place for celebrities to make a statement. For example Billy Porter turned up to the 2019 MET Gala in a large gown with the torso of a tuxedo and the bottom half had a black velvet ballgown silhouette.

He gave an interview to Vogue saying:

“This industry masquerades itself as inclusive, but actors are afraid to play, because if they show up as something outside of the status quo, they might be received as feminine, and, as a result, they won’t get that masculine job, that superhero job. And that’s the truth. I’ve been confronted with that.”
