The sailor in gay culture
French photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino clip of "Cargo de Nuit" [1] (1983) by Axel Bauer is an homage to the movie Querelle by Fassbinder. In the early eighties, Querelle was the quintessence of macho/gay homoeroticism and it was copied by musicians such as Luc Van Acker on the cover of The Ship[2] album. Jean-Paul Gaultier appropriated this seaman’s aesthetic and celebrated it all through the early eighties. Ultimately, the look was derived from Kenneth Anger's Fireworks and is still celebrated today, most notably in the work of Pierre et Gilles.
