Abstract
This project and accompanying exegesis investigate the relationship between Drag and identity within contemporary Queer culture. The exegesis acts as a contextualising document for a body of practical research [Bookwork: Legends]. This body of work is an investigation into the [portrait] ‘subjects’ constructs of identity and their relationship to contemporary Queer notions of Drag. This document is comprised of comprehensive interviews and analogue photographic studio portraiture as primary research. The project considers the issues of Drag and identity through interviews, portraiture and commentary.Description
