KIDULT video 'ILLEGALWORLD"
I've been trying to avoid the KIDULT topic, because he is already very famous from super-tagging some of the most famous label shop windows around the globe, and instantly getting the video on the web. And on top of that, I have a tendency to avoid giving more attention to the obvious attention seeker in general, but what about him? Do I love it or hate it? my answer is "I don't know". But I've been noticing that as an ex- fashion designer, I no longer have any urge to consume products from those fashion brand empires, like the stores that were attacked by KIDULT ( see below). I'd rather consume products made locally to me in the USA: and support small production runs with an eco-conscious strategy and cruelty free. Some people think that Capitalism faces collapse on a global scale and I'm not so sure about that. But what's obvious to me is that it doesn't work as we once hoped in 80's.
KIDULT reminds us what direct action graffiti is about : protest and expressing yourself in a creative way, even if for most people its vandalism…
