Saint Hoax, an artist consumed by “Poplitical Infatuation” developed a series entitled War Drags You Out, study of sorts, mashing up political h and drag culture, two spheres that are far more similar than one would initially think. Saint Hoax explains:
Like drag queens, political/religious leaders are expected to entertain, perform and occasionally lip-sync a public speech. But unlike drag queens, the fame hungry leaders don’t know when to take their costumes off.
And Saint Hoax’s pieces are exquisite, a genius look into the absurd performance of politics. Here’s a few:
“Hitleria Hysteria”
“Queen Abby”
“Madame O’Sane”
“Vladdy Pushin'”
“Baricka O’Bisha”
As Saint Hoax brilliantly puts it, “behind every “great” man, there’s a queen.”
