tom hunter

i found his ‘le crowbar’ book in the library which led me to continue researching more of his work. the introduction of his book:

“our tutor ray thompson brandishes a tabloid front page with the headline ‘police powerless as 20,000 attend rave’. He then talks about the importance of this event in terms of contemporary culture and how it is a pivotal moment in the history of modern music, fashion and society. I felt the blood drain from my body as I realise that I have missed one of the major cultural events in my lifetime in order to write about culture from another time and continent”

it is thought-provoking that this particular movement has shaped a large majority of the aspects of our youth culture today, and how it is still influencing our fashion and everyday lives. The very idea of having a separate family outside of your own, attracts young people to these kinds of beautiful cults that have formed, feeling a oneness with those around them. Linked together through dress-sense, music and behaviour. Aspects i aim to represent in this project 

“the teckno travellers holiday destination of the year”

very inspiring images that document a journey around europe in a double decker bus, in which they built in sound systems and beds etc. and painted it white and red. The photographs really inspire your care-free nature and make you want to live a less socially and culturally influenced life, making it more free and fulfilling
