Ibyegeranyo bimwe bikenera thesaurus, encyclopedia, hamwe namasaha ane munsi ya wormhole ya Wikipedia kugirango umenye ibibera. Abahanzi ba minimaliste hamwe na crypto-amadini, umuntu wese? Abandi biroroshye kandi byoroshye, rimwe na rimwe birenze.
KTZ ikurikira igishushanyo mbonera cya nyuma: Umuziki ucuranga uratangira kandi moderi zikubita catwalk yambaye muri getups zitandukanye, ariko birahagije, kuva ibihe byigihe. Iki gihe nibwo Kraftwerk yahuye nu Burusiya Futurism ihura na siporo yo muri Amerika. Biragaragara! Nibyiza, ntabwo bigaragara neza, ariko nanditse "baseball" na "mirongo inani Gaultier," mu 1987 bashizeho icyegeranyo cyashyizweho kashe ya Cyrillic bahise bita Detente Chic hagati yubukonje bwintambara y'ubutita.
Hano, Amerika yiganje kuruta ikindi kintu cyose, uhereye kumirongo ifungura indorerwamo ishushanya yambutse Liberace hamwe na Bootsy Collins atop inkweto za pompe zapakishijwe inkweto. Babaye indashyikirwa mu gukubita clobber, ariko bikomeretsa bisa na verisiyo y'abanyamaguru ya Vivienne Westwood ikomeje kugurishwa cyane n'inkweto za Rocking Horse. Umunyabugeni wa KTZ, Marjan Pejoski, ni umufana wa Westwood, ku bw'impanuka: Ibitugu byerekanwe kuri bike mu makoti ye arenze urugero byari bivuye mu cyegeranyo cye cy'Abapfumu 1983.
Westwood yamaganye imperialism y'Abanyamerika, ariko biragaragara ko Pejoski yakiriye. Amakoti ye yari asanzwe akorana, afite ibisobanuro birambuye byaciwe mu makoti cyangwa ibisasu birambuye. Bake baradoda hamwe na sutari nini yometseho uruhu rusanzwe rukomeretsa hejuru ya baseball. Ipantaro ya Baseball yabaye ipantaro ya buri munsi; imirongo yimikono yanditseho swatshirts hamwe nintoki za intarsia. Kraftwerk yatanze amabara: umutuku, umukara, umweru. Futurism yo mu Burusiya? Nah - retro irenga mirongo inani.
KTZ ntabwo ishaka kwagura abakiriya bayo, cyangwa imipaka yimyambarire. Kuri uyu mugoroba Pejoski yakiniraga imbaga yo murugo, byumvikanye neza. Naho abashya batamenyekanye? Nibyiza, reba umukino wa baseball utazi amategeko, kandi uze ntanumwe ufite ubwenge. Urangiza gusa unaniwe gato, urumiwe, hamwe na crick yo kuzunguza ijosi ureba abantu bose bahambiriye ubusa.
