Hero Worship

Part 15: TLC





Good fashion. Feel good moments. Three girls in metallic latex jumpsuits. Front-laced waistcoats. Suede fringe mini skirts. In cropped gym tops and wide cargo trousers. Highlights and belly buttons.

Petrarca's Heir II

Artworks Keith Farqhar

Torso sculptures. Obviously carrying the traces of weather conditions. Seemingly being torso sculptures. In fact, they are flat cardboard cutouts. Mounted on cubic pedestals.

Petrarca's Heir

Photos Alex Rank

Neither authentic nor artificial. Neither human nor sculpture. Skin as perfect and sleek as marble. No hair, no flaw, no beauty mark. So close and yet so distant. So real and yet so staged.

For those of you who still seek inspiration for our drag race (yes, I won't stop reminding you), I recommend to pick a 90s trance techno outfit. The deadline still is 15th of March. So get your act together!

B-Sexual

Top Britney Spears by Todd Cole
Bottom Brigitte Bardot

Britney is the epitome of pop. A symbol for the hyperglycaemia of our society. A bitter sweet candy stick. A post-romantic icon of consumerism and self-dramatization. Wrapped-up in white tulle. Remixing an image of the original power of Dirndl-escapism: The über-icon and strawberry blonde Brigitte Bardot.

Group Of Four

Tamara De Lempicka vs. Robert Palmer

Women with sleek hair, smokey eyes and red lipstick - a repetitive leitmotif of timeless beauty. Women who use the definitions of sex as their weapon and source of strength.

Holistic Triptych

Top Guy Bourdin
Center Massimo & Lella Vignelli
Bottom Thomas Kiesewetter

Guy, Massimo and Thomas unconsciously connected via form and colour. Transmedial concepts that carry a similar notion and degree of expression. Reducing the principles of life to triangle, circle and square.

Part 12: Kelis





Only hardly can I elude her majesty. The last living real Buschfrau on earth. She arose from oblivion to claim back her kingdom. Armoured with a crispy voice and a blue-haired poodle. We are willing to give her everything she demands.
