Goth, Emo, Indie: Ich habe mich als verschiedene Teen-Gruppen fotografiert

Die englische Fotografin Lauren Maccabee erzählt uns von der Story hinter ihrem Fotoprojekt In Concert. Indem sie in die Haut verschiedener Musikfans schlüpfte, hat Maccabee auf lustige, nostalgische Art diverse Teenie-Subkulturen und -Cliquen erkundet. Obwohl es für sie neu war, selbst vor der Kamera zu stehen, weiß sie aus eigener Erfahrung, wie wichtig diese Gruppen für die Erschaffung einer eigenen Identität sind. Vor ein paar Jahren besuchte sie für ein Magazin ein Drake-Konzert, um dort die Fans zu fotografieren, die vor der Konzerthalle anstanden. „Das war faszinierend. Ein Konzertbesuch ist ein bisschen so, wie zum Abschlussball zu gehen… Es ist eine große Sache. Vor allem, weil die Tickets so teuer sind“, erinnert sie sich. „Ich finde es echt interessant, dass du schon weißt, welche Musik auf einem Konzert gespielt wird, wenn du dir die Leute in der Schlange davor mal ansiehst. Die sind alle so aufgeregt. Ich erinnere mich selbst noch an die Outfits, die ich als Jugendliche zu Konzerten angezogen habe.“ read more
