Love this TED Talk by Daniel Lismore about their artwork…themself! He truly is a living sculpture, fashion is seen as ‘drag’ and shallow but like this it is so much more, an eclectic mashup of cultures and things, from total trash to very valuable. I see his Wikipedia mentions Leigh Bowery and Gilbert and George – I’d add Viv Stanshall to that list, for he had a similarly eclectic approach if more wedded in Victoriana and Edwardiana.
The English eccentric – I use that phrase in a non-critical/admiring way – is so important, and must be protected because this is a fount of creativity and a message that needs to be heard about authenticity and being true to yourself.
As Daniel says in the video – Who are you? How many versions of there are you? And are you using them all to your advantage?
