Explore the vibrant world of Machine Dazzle, the visionary designer and artist behind celebrated cabaret, drag, and performance icons like Taylor Mac and Mx. Justin Vivian Bond. Qu eer Maximalism X Machine Dazzle brings together his over-the-top stage creations, personal costumes, stage environments, and career-spanning ephemera and photos. Embracing a "more-is-better" philosophy, Machine Dazzle's work challenges elitist views, celebrating spectacle and extravagance as affirmations of hybridity and equality. Published in conjunction with a major exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Design, the book includes insightful essays and reminiscences from performers, historians, and cultural critics, offering a comprehensive look at the artist's transformative and inclusive creations.
