Pearl Lam (林明珠) meets British-Chinese artist and performer Le Fil to discuss drag as contemporary art. Their conversation explores identity, gender and self-expression, queer Asian representation, and why performance is treated differently in galleries and nightclubs despite sharing ideas of transformation, illusion and spectacle.
Le Fil is a British-Chinese artist, performer and fashion designer whose practice spans drag, music, performance, sculpture and fashion. Their work explores identity, gender, representation and self-expression, using costume and performance to challenge conventional boundaries between contemporary art, popular culture and entertainment.
