The costume I will be wearing for Karlich is a reference on M.C. Eschers Metamorphosis and Butterflies. For 3 weeks straight, I have been working on cutting out organza butterflies (roughly 1000 pcs.). Quite sleepless, and with so little concentration..well. :) The butterflies will be "cutting"/working their way through the organic cotton jersey, crowding at the top of my head. The fabric will be pierced, slashed and cut to give a structure much like in the following pictures.
As each one of my suits, it is..unique in its way. Each one has a general meaning, and a personal meaning. This one will represent the topic of the show: be yourself, focus on your true self and evolve. Looking different does not mean you're being pathological- even if others cannot handle it.
For me, it has much to do with my own evolution as a woman..^^..starting a new life, and starting to evolve and blossom- this time, as myself. This woman at the BDZ..you know, I NEVER wear a costume..not in my ordinary day-clothes, not when I am naked, not when I wear my special costumes designed for the stage..I am ALWAYS, and utterly, myself. As much as I can..there is no use hiding, beacuse if you DO (or feel you cannot live something vital to you)- it WILL get pathological. :)
THAT way, art is not pathological, it is actually way more healthy a form of expression and self-exploration than many other jobs/ways to exist. This country might not be ready for it yet (America is, partly), but that isn't MY problem. It is yours.
As for all comparisons to Lady Gaga (TOTALLY diferent mindset and person here!)..the next costume will be AnimaGaga- printed in cooperation with Barön Brazy (Andi Joska). Just as I had the idea of Rohrschach tests..I started the course (and he was in it:).
I just thought..if you want Gaga, you can HAVE Gaga..;D..and this video is one of my faves. Enjoy (once again).
