MARK LECKEY- FIORUCCI MADE ME HARDCORE

Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore (Mark Leckey) from Anon. on Vimeo.



Mark Leckey (b. 1964)

Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore (1999)

"Described by one commentator as the best thing they'd ever seen in a gallery, Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore is an extended paean to the unadulterated bliss of nocturnal abandon. A documentary of sorts, Leckey's video chronicles the rites of passage experienced by successive generations of British (sub)urban youth".
- Matthew Higgs, ArtForum

Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore uses found and original footage of discos and raves across Britain during the 70s, 80s and 90s. Details of clothing, technology, music and other cultural references surface briefly like uncanny folklore as the film explores a culture of collective leisure and consumption.

THIS IS THE SHIT!!! IT IS ALSO PRETTY COOL TO SEE THE GENERATIONS OF CRACKHEAD FASHIONS ON THE DANCEFLOORS FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS AND ALL TO THAT EERIE LOOPED OUT AMBIENT STRING!!!!

DOPE!
