FREE CITY
Hannan kept in mind the underlying meanings in each detail, from the dirty Pumas the character Laser wears to the Free City T-shirt worn by Julianne Moore’s character, Jules.
“Free City … is owned by a lesbian woman … (and) is a very strong item for lesbian women,” Hannan said. “If you were a gay woman, you’d know. But if you’re not, you’d just say, ‘Oh, she looks cute.’ And that was the point.”

Notes:
-Catherine Opie- photographer
-what does it feel to be queer? (in art) doesn't feel like Mapplethorpe anymore.
-"all sexuality is queer sexuality"
-strategy of queer art is to destabilize, to make oneself strange to oneself
-how do we find a larger social formation in which we are not alienated from each other
-moments of queerness- moments of being told you are unnatural or not right
-Felix Gonzalez-Torres
