Scorpio Rising (Kenneth Anger's Scorpio Rising/Scorpion Graphic with Vintage Effect) Color:Dark Grey no-frills gay leather-and-Levi’s haunt tuckedScorpio Rising Kenneth Anger, 1963A leather clad fever dream of rebellion and desire, Kenneth Angers Scorpio Rising (1963) fused biker fetishism, pop music, and occult imagery into one of the most provocative short films ever made. Banned and celebrated in equal measure, it became a cornerstone of queer underground cinema influencing everyone from Warhol to Bowie. This tee honors Angers hypnotic vision of chrome, sin, and subversion.
