What is 'camp'? This year's elusive MetGala theme
“Trying to define camp is like attempting to sit in the corner of a circular room," one cultural historian said.
In 1964, Sontag tried to make sense of the notoriously hard-to-define aesthetic in her bullet-pointed treatise by saying camp is the “love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration.” Andrew Bolton, the head curator of the Met's Costume Institute, said that since announcing the theme, people keep asking him the same two questions:"What is camp?" and"Why did you choose it?"
Khubchandani thinks “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” last year’s Met Gala theme, was a good example of camp.
