Abstract:
|
The majority of modern society deems the metal sub-culture socially unacceptable. For
Metalheads, it provides a social identity, and creates a positive outlet and sanctuary
where outcasts can find acceptance. As a member of the metal community, I have used
photography, video and interviews to document the significance metal music has played
in the lives of those who embrace it, and provide an insider’s viewpoint to those outside
the sub-culture. This body of work is commenting on the universal desire for social
acceptance, while navigating personal identities within the metal community.
