Queer Maximalism X Machine Dazzle

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.

"Queer 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, this book includes insightful essays and reminiscences from performers, historians, and cultural critics, offering a comprehensive look at the artist's transformative and inclusive creations.
