Notes on 'Camp' by Susan Sontag

4.0

Sontag's work made headlines again with the theme of Camp for the Met Gala back in 2019. I re-visited this again after working on Met Gala collages. Once again, I enjoyed reading Sontag's thoughts about the concept of Camp and how the phenomenon is an encapsulation of everything postmodern - from the need of ambiguity and expression that goes against the conventional grain, to the political social commentary aspects. You do need to concentrate in order to get what Sontag is saying due to how messy and inconsistent the essay is, but it is an interesting read - it IS Camp.
