The World's Best Moments Of Drag Performance











1. Mary So Leb Dein Leben
2. Lady Bunny Wigstock 2005
3. RuPaul Supermodel (You Better Work)
4. Elton John & RuPaul Don't Go Breaking My Heart
5. Jukka K. Cher, Gaga and I
6. Yara Sofia Echa Pa' Lante!
7. After Dark Invincible
8. After Dark Showtime
9. Lady Bunny Burlesque
10. RuPaul Lip Sync For Your Life

RuPaul has changed my life. He/she changed the way I utilize language, the way I play with self-irony, random words and endless repetition. He/she made me laugh. The precious kind of laugh that only occurs when you are all by yourself. And looking back, the art of drag has already moved and formed me at the youngest age. So in fact, Mary has changed my life.

Miusing Escher



1. Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2010
2. M. C. Escher Untitled (No. 126)

Quite obvious and still unnoticed. It recalls a childhood memory of mine. Filling out a whole paper with animals. Each outline complementing the other and creating yet unseen creatures. Escher lies within us.

Wooden Veneer Fight



Rodarte Spring/Summer 2011 vs. Bavarian balcony

Absolutely loved this collection. Carvings on planks as dresses. One cannot deny a certain resemblance to the traditional Bavarian balcony. Or the typical yet brutal wall systems Germans are so fond of. But yes, bad childhood memories can be transformed into renewed contexts of beauty.

Somehow Ethereal







Collage Dries van Noten Spring/Summer 2011

The reason why I feel attracted to acid denim might probably be its sinister resemblance to a profane thing such as clouds. Carrying a moment of childish astonishment. And at the same time referring to a political ethos.

Syncrisis










Prince of Persia 1989 & 2010

Please excuse my latest 80s-boy-loves-adventure-fairytale-computer-game-movie-adaption tendendies. But did I already share my childhood addiction of playing Prince of Persia on my 486 PC? Now you know.

Archetype




Poster Indiana Jones 1981 - 2008

Last night I spent a recognizable amount of hours on watching the Indiana Jones trilogy. And what can I say: It does make happy. Especially when you look at these genre-typical collage artworks.

Bits & Pieces




Prada Fall/Winter 2004

This weekend I enjoyed the utmost satisfying feeling to throw away stuff. Unneeded things from the cellar. Forgotten childhood memories. And I stumbled upon my teenage replica version of a Prada robot. Made of random hardware pieces. Touching.

Playground Love







All clothes MTWTFSS

Rude boys have a tender heart. Bomber jacket, bondage jeans, steel-toed leather boots - as hard the outer layers appear, as insistent the garments reflect a dispiteous character, they still can't cover the fact that their wearer cries at night.

Big Bang Theory








Helmut Lang Spring/Summer 1991

You might have recognized that I recently developed a new addiction: Barbie & Ken Fashion. And now I actually found out who truly invented it: Helmut Lang. Unexpectedly, he beautified short skirts, plastic frills and sheer pastel dresses when I was still an innocent boy playing with Barbie and Ken.
