Klaus Nomi

Now this artist was something special. When I first saw him and Leigh Bowery, I just thought of a duo pair of costume performers. Boy was I wrong!  Leigh Bowery and Klaus Nomi were different because of their uniqueness. Leigh Bowery did stunts and did crossdressing skits to represent freedom of expressing one self, and to reveal what is going on with the homosexual community.

Klaus Nomi however was the same in performing with different unique clothing, but his talent lied with hm singing. He was a perfect opera singer.  Not only did he preform perfectly with his voice but the abstract costumes with mime like makeup, added a unique form to him. When I saw his performance on the documentary,  it gave me a feeling of two different personalitys in art appearance and art voice. This probably wouldn't match well with the norms, but added applause for the arts.

It was sad however that he kept secret of being HIV positive and later dying from it, but with his efforts, along with Leigh Bowery. They added hope and embrace to the multisexual communities in being aware of what is going on and be not afraid to express it.
