Designer of mode at its beginnings and model of the painter Lucian Freud, Leigh Bowery became famous as an interpreter and a creator of the costumes of the choreographer Michael Clark and the pop Boy George star. Leigh Bowery, artist performer of Australian origin installed in London, died of the AIDS in 1994. It is one of the outstanding figures of decade 80, of the luxurieuse fury of the culture underground of the clubs which is invented at that time in a night absurdity carnival of celebration and exaggeration of the marginality. Charles Atlas devoted several films to him of which this exceptional portrait. (Irene Filiberti, Vidéodanse)
While taking part in the insane nights of the English capital, with its looks incarnated until disproportion and the enchantment, Leigh Bowery, going well beyond the cross-country race-dressingroom, a mode of existence declined where the total stylization of oneself, defying all realistic body contours, was reinvented in each one of its transitory and vital masks. From there, a vertiginous course where the truth of the subject mixes, between sumptuous and “declining” tinsels and a nudity which it appeared necessary to find at the time of the meeting with the painter Lucian Freud, before demolishing again best.

“As a visual artist gender variable, I used technologies of the kind to amplify rather than to erase the traces hermaphrodites of my own body. I name myself, a “intentional change” or a “intersexe design” rather than simply “intersexe”, in order to underline the singularity of my course where I had happiness and the privilege to have the choice, which is not the case of the majority of the intersexes which were dispossessed of their choices by the medical institution which privileges the normality and the conformism of the kind more than all other values. My goal is to chart new territories which open the possible ones for those among us who cannot or who do not want to be reduced to the paradigm of the binary kind (standard: or one or the other) and which create spaces where the difference is developed, respected, wished. ” Del LaGrace Volcano 

Crimped by the melancholy and the corrosive liveliness of the text of Gerard Gilles, vibrating militant figure of the antipsychiatry during the Seventies, the wind blows where he wants, as its beautiful title reveals it to us, is filled up puffs of revolutionary poetry of after 68 and the 1st walk of homosexual pride in May 1971, year of the appearance of the FHAR (homosexual Face of revolutionary Action).  Luminous farandoles and insolence of the slogans, sexual release and insurrection of the desires, the very beautiful one and too ignored film of Roger Danel, is also a load against the repressive systems.

The “pink block” a tactic born at the time top of the IMF and the World Bank in Prague in 2000, where she had known a great success and licence with part of expressing to arrive until the Center of congress. It was re-used in a great number of demonstrations and direct actions since, and is based on a festive, rythmée and coloured resistance. It aims at promoting the queer and the dressing-up. She seeks and integrates a diversity of modes of action within the procession, but often tries to divert and sabotage with humour and elegance the weapons of the system and these modes of oppression. She seeks to exceed the false limits between violence and non-violence. She wants to be offensive, but in often uneven power struggles, systematically does not run direct confrontation and the rise in pressure. It would rather aim at neutralizing the police forces by strategies of avoidance and movements constant.
