About NOTES ON CAMP SUSAN SONTAG said: "Indeed the essence of Camp is its love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration." "Camp is a certain mode of aestheticism. It is one way of seeing the world as an aesthetic phenomenon. That way, the way of Camp, is not in terms of beauty, but in terms of the degree of artifice, of stylization." "For Camp art is often decorative art, emphasizing texture, sensuous surface, and style at the expense of content." "Camp is a vision of the world in terms of style -- but a particular kind of style. It is the love of the exaggerated, the "off," of things-being-what-they-are-not." "Today's Camp taste effaces nature, or else contradicts it outright. And the relation of Camp taste to the past is extremely sentimental."	Additional Information This is a public group. View the group rules. Members can post 3 things to the pool each day.
