Description
Machine Dazzle's work is a testament to the transformative power of costume and set design. A true theatrical genius, he has created some of the most inventive and awe-inspiring stage creations in recent memory.
This collection brings together Machine Dazzle's most iconic designs, alongside stage environments, ephemera, and photographs from his career. For the first time, his "queer maximalism" is showcased as a philosophy that celebrates extravagance and spectacle as affirmations of hybridity and rejection of hierarchies.
Curated by Elissa Auther, this expansive collection includes essays and reminiscences from fellow performers, historians, and cultural critics, offering a comprehensive look at Machine Dazzle's rich body of work. A must-have for anyone interested in the intersection of art, fashion, and performance.
