Subcultures:
The Zodiac Collection
A collaboration between Interdisciplinary artist Cass Jimenez-Brenner, “Subcultures: The Zodiac Collection" is a series of photos showcasing the astrological signs in varying subcultures within Western society. Inspired by counter-culture of today, the images focus on known traits of the signs and portraying them into the aesthetic of the communities and each model was handpicked to embody their own sign in a community completely different than their own. Costume and accessories designed by RuPink.
The collection was shown at a “First Friday” event at Simantikos Dance Company in 2018.
Aries
The Punk
Aries is the innovator, the go-getter, the fighter. Fuck with an Aries and get the horns.
Leaders of the pack and rebels with a cause, these guys are not afraid of a little challenge. No Fear, No structure.
That's why Aries is THE PUNK.
Taurus
The Stoner
Taurus is the softy, the bull, cool as cucumber and blunt as a knife. Taurus wants the best of life. Good food, Good sex, Good clothes. Mess with a Taurus...and they'll probably let you get away with it. Unless you poke too many times, then they’ll see red. Hedonist, procrastinator, and all-around chill vibes.
That's why Taurus is THE STONER.
Gemini
Gemini is the intellect. Charming to a fault. Ruled by Mercury. Air Sign. Fuck with a Gemini and they'll tell everyone your deepest darkest secrets.
A natural gossip, elitist at heart, and forever young. Thats why Gemini is THE SOCIALITE.
The Socialite
Cancer
The Emo
Cancer is our mother. Intuitive, nurturing, and caring above all.
Nostalgic beyond belief, Cancers never forget a moment that made them feel. Fuck with a Cancer and consider yourself *emotionally manipulated*. Sad boys, hermits, and drowning in their emotions.
That's why Cancer is THE EMO.
Leo
The Jock
Leo is our star! They shine bright, and make an
impression wherever they go. Fuck with a Leo, they'll pout about it for days and use passive aggressive tactics until you admit your wrong doing :). Hard workers, but hardly have to work for attention.
That's why Leo is THE JOCK.
Virgo
The Minimalist
Virgo is the influencer. In a word, Virgos are perfect.
And insist you be too! They're our researchers, healers, and our overly critical best friends. Fuck with a Virgo, and they'll probably act like they didn't how much they upset you. Classier, you know? The Virgin, The Original, Understated and Underestimated. That’s why Virgo is THE MINIMALIST.
Libra
The Gays
Libra is the artist. They makes us appreciate life and
the wonderful beauties that surround it. Fuck with a Libra, and they'll act just as petty as you are-- its all about balance! Venus ruled, light as air, and flair for the
dramatic. Thats why Libras are THE GAYS.
Scorpio
The Leather Daddy
Scorpio is the deviant. Not afraid to look deep
within themselves (and others) to find out what exactly makes people tick. They'll probably know all of your kinks after a 5-minute conversation. Fuck with a Scorpio and they'll make it their life mission to ruin yours. Not Kidding. Mysterious, Hardcore, and an edge on life.
That’s why Scorpios are our LEATHER DADDIES.
Sagittarius is the traveler. They love learning and experiencing cultures from all over the world. Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and higher learning. Fuck with a Sag, and they'll give you a piece of their mind. But don't worry, they won't hold it over your head. You just didn't know better.
Fact junkies with an incorrigible case of wanderlust.
Thats why Sags are KAWAII.
Kawaii
Sagittarius
Capricorn
Hip Hop
Capricorn is the boss. At least they try to be.
They strive for the best and have no qualms about working their way to the top. Fuck with a Capricorn, and they'll probably laugh in your face because they realize how beneath them you are! Visionaries, resourceful, and
super goal-oriented. Thats why Capricorn is HIP HOP.
The Gamer
Aquarius
Aquarius is the revolutionary!
They love the strange and unexplained. Technological advances intrigue them and they're probably one of the first people that finds out about all the new gear first. Overly friendly and very intelligent, Fuck with an Aquarius, and they can be very condescending-- especially about things they know to be true. An eccentric individual with a world of acquaintances.
Thats why Aquarius is THE GAMER.
Pisces
The Raver
Pisces is the escapist. They live in the ether and
consume the emotions of everyone around them-- so most of the time, they find themselves escaping to another reality. Fuck with a Pisces, and they'll cry, or yell, or both...and then leave. Mystical, Illusionist, and a soul that loves to wander.
Thats why Pisces is THE RAVER.
