Pecker
Body
Pecker (Edward Furlong) is an unassuming but passionate amateur photographer who finds art in the mundane or bleak moments of everyday life in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore.
When he becomes an overnight success in New York City, his life and that of his loved ones is turned upside down. While the titular character is presented as a figure similar to photographer Diane Arbus, he is also reminiscent of John Waters himself, who also transitioned from DIY roots to the “legitimate” art world. The film comments on the commercialization of underground art, celebrity, and the risks of selling out. - Academy Museum
