"Subhuman, Superhuman, Inhuman" - Rick Owens, 2017

A 'retrospective' whatever that means in his world. The latest example of Rick Owens creating something and putting it somewhere bucking conformity throughout. To put a finer point on it, his manifesto of sorts: to “lay a black glittering turd on the white landscape of conformity.”

He literally did just that, complete with his own hair which he has been collecting for years. 

You do you, Rick.

The interview made me look into Dadaism and Cubism which I wasn't that familiar with. Along with the work of Michael Heizer and Richard Long.

One thing you know leads to other things you don't.
