Monsters & Aliens | The Pride Series | British Vogue
Jun 24 2021
“A lot of queer people relate to monsters,” says Vlad Von Kitsch, one of the stars of creative duo Zhang & Knight’s new short film, part of British Vogue’s 2021 video series in celebration of Pride. “We spend a lot of our lives being told that we’re inherently monsters. There’s something so empowering about taking that abuse that has been aimed at you and turning it into something positive.” Linden Feng (Zhang) and Hannah Palumbo (Knight) used their film – which also features Jazmin Bean, Charity Kase, Lewis G. Burton and Luke Slyka – to highlight artistic members of the LGBTQIA+ community using “inhuman” alter-egos to disrupt heteronormative expectations, and recover from past traumas.
