My Take
LaBruce is the rare artist who refuses to be filed neatly anywhere. Writer, photographer, filmmaker, screenwriter, actor, and a genuine pioneer of the queercore punk movement out of Toronto, he has spent a career aiming his lens at exactly the places polite culture would rather ignore. I admire that nerve. Provocation for its own sake bores me, but LaBruce's transgression carries intent, using the underground to interrogate identity, desire, and the politics of looking. He will never be everybody's taste, and that is the point. As a maker of uncompromising, idea-driven work, he commands my real respect.
