LONDON, JANUARY 10, 2016
ndi ALEXANDER FURY
Zosonkhanitsa zina zimafunikira thesaurus, encyclopedia, ndi maola anayi pansi pa Wikipedia wormhole kuti adziwe zomwe zikuchitika. Ojambula a Minimalist ndi kayendedwe ka crypto-religious, aliyense? Zina ndi zomveka komanso zosavuta, nthawi zina zambiri.
KTZ ikutsatira ndondomeko yotsirizayi: Nyimbo zoyimba zimayamba ndipo zotsatizana zimagunda momveka bwino zomwe zimasiyana pang'ono, koma zokwanira, nyengo ndi nyengo. Panthawiyi Kraftwerk akukumana ndi Russian Futurism akukumana ndi masewera aku America. Mwachionekere! Chabwino, osati mwachiwonekere, koma ndidalemba "baseball" ndi "eighties Gaultier," omwe mu 1987 adapanga chosonkhanitsa chosindikizidwa cha Cyrillic mwamsanga chomwe chinatchedwa Detente Chic pakati pa kusungunuka kwa Cold War.
Apa, America idalamulira kwambiri kuposa china chilichonse, kuyambira pamawonekedwe okongoletsedwa agalasi otsegulira omwe adawoloka Liberace ndi Bootsy Collins pansapato za Bowling zomwe zidakwezedwa ndi soles zapulatifomu. Anali osowa popanga bowling clobber, koma adawoneka ngati oyenda pansi a Vivienne Westwood omwe amagulitsidwabe kwambiri nsapato za Rocking Horse. Wopanga KTZ a Marjan Pejoski ndiwokonda ku Westwood, mwamwayi: Mapewa ang'onoang'ono pa malaya ake okulirapo ochepa adatuluka m'gulu lake la Afiti mu 1983.
Westwood yanyoza chikhalidwe cha America, koma Pejoski mwachiwonekere amavomereza. Ma jekete ake anali makamaka asukulu, okhala ndi ma varsity odulidwa kukhala malaya kapena mabomba ongotalikitsidwa. Ochepa adasokedwa ndi zida zazikulu zachikopa zomwe nthawi zambiri zimawopseza pamasewera a baseball. Mathalauza a baseball anakhala mathalauza a tsiku ndi tsiku; mikwingwirima yolembedwa ma sweatshirts ndi masilavu aubweya a intarsia. Kraftwerk anapereka mitundu: wofiira, wakuda, woyera. Russian Futurism? Nah - more eighties retro.
KTZ sikuyang'ana kukulitsa makasitomala ake, kapena malire a mafashoni. Pejoski anali kusewera pagulu la anthu kunyumba usikuuno, zomwe zidavomera kuvomereza kwake. Nanga wobwera kumene wosadziwa? Penyani masewera a baseball osadziwa malamulo, ndipo musabwerenso mwanzeru. Mumangokhala wotopa pang'ono, wodabwitsidwa pang'ono, ndikumangirira khosi lanu kuyang'ana aliyense akuyenda mopanda pake.
