Miranda July – Mono Kultur
In 1997, Miranda July wore a snowman’s head to an art opening in Portland, Oregon. At the time, her outfit did not seem particularly unusual: July was known around town for her already snowman-like hair, which she bleached white to the point of disintegration, teased into a giant tangle, and powdered like an old-fashioned wig. She bought the head at a garage sale – she couldn’t afford the whole costume – and though it was filthy, its carrot nose had fallen off, and its eyebrows were crooked, she managed to give it a kind of decrepit glamour.
