ALEXANDER MCQUEEN - PLATO'S ATLANTIS
I cannot believe I have not yet posted this on this blog. This is the last show produced while Alexander McQueen was alive and it is truly a cultural pinnacle. There are shapes and themes in this show that seem to access and trigger some primeval and, and at the same time, non-linear absolute knowledges and sensations. It's as if there's a nostalgia happening for something that we have not yet experienced, but also as if we have always known this theme, this feeling, this communication and it just yet hadn't been brought out from the collective unconscious into the collective conscious.
(All this leads me to consider the idea of the "noosphere," a concept elaborated on by French theologian Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, where the planet is seeing sort of a direction towards a unified psychic envelope/atmosphere called the Omega Point. Technology is assisting in a degree which he may or may not have considered, but nonetheless is help transmit ideas, feeling, and thought processes faster and further. This is a complete digression, and probably better suited for another of my blogs.)
