Performance Art Show In New York

It's more like a performance art show.

Weird steps, endless makeup, weird hairstyles and personality mix.

K8 Hardy has staged a "fashion show" for the audience.

At the recent Whitney Biennial of contemporary art in New York, the artist K8 Hardy staged a "Untitled fashion show" for the audience.

In the artist's own words, "compared to"

It's more like a performance art show, or an experimental drama. "

Undisciplined steps

The hall lights began to flicker, and the spectacular performance began.

The models are stepping on the weird steps: moving forward and backward, heavy and rigid, completely out of rhythm, more like modern dance steps.

Makeup is a color block with no hierarchy. It is mainly made of orange, red and blue. The face of the model seems to be the cheap plastic face mould used in make-up training school for beginners to practice.

A big, disorderly hairstyle.

Hairstyles are in the limelight, carding a geometric shape or a huge and chaotic "bird's nest", and then throwing up paint and chemical powder.

K8 Hardy said that she was inspired by the Amy Winehouse and Internet subculture "helicopter hairstyle" (loose hair or beard, making all kinds of strange stereoscopic patterns, because netizens' works are known as helicopters).

Clothing is made up of all kinds of gadgets in cheap clothing stores, such as stitching together two styles of clothes that are completely different, or a bucket of paint from the bottom to the tail, just like an industrial accident that just happened. What is most memorable is the fluffy skirt with a burnt chest cover.

These works recount the aesthetic view of Hardy, a summary of her years of artistic career, and also an aggregation of interest, rebellious and tragic visual effects.

In addition to the artist's identity, Hardy is still a stylist.

She is famous for her satirical, offensive and narcissistic styling.

Rather than capturing subtle emotional values from fashion, Hardy focuses on the definition of mainstream culture and subculture, which is directly expressed in "clothes" - the second layer of human skin.

Underwear made of underwear

Hardy said, "it is absurd to say that we should not take clothes for people.

Every piece of clothing is a signal. People choose what clothes to wear to show what kind of people they want to be.

The book "Fashion Fashion", which she once published, is more like exploring the relationship between human and culture.

"My dressing style is changing all the time, because my social status and cultural beliefs are constantly changing."

Hardy take yourself for example.

At the end of the "Untitled fashion show", the artist took a hit.

With a red tie, it was called "the banker of Wall Street".

The whole show satirize the comment of the Whitney Gallery, "everything is in the name of fashion".

I wonder if anyone in the fashion industry pays for her performance art show?
