Directed by Jim Sharman, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a tribute to B-movies and remains an enigmatic, nightmarish musical that defies classification, even today. Melting horror and science fiction in a musical crucible, the film starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, and Barry Bostwick, centres on the various wild experiences encountered in Dr. Frank-N-Furter's castle by two young individuals, Brad and Janet, who lose their way in the forest and, as a result of knocking on the "right" door for help, meet Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Their story takes an increasingly surreal turn as they become embroiled in the eccentric events unfolding within the confines of Dr. Frank-N-Furter's castle—a place where a visitor from a transgender planet endeavors to craft the perfect human while gathering insights about Earth.

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.

Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
