NO ORDER IN DISORDER

DRAKO OHO ZARHAZAR

NoHAWKERS is pleased to present an immersive installation reimagined from the extraordinary home of Drako Oho Zarhazar  (1936 - 2012).

Two serious road accidents drastically altered Drako's hitherto bohemian lifestyle, leaving him with brain injuries that impeded access to his short-term memory and also removed many behavioural inhibitions. Drako counteracted these changes by creating an 'info-blizzard' in his domestic interior.

Thousands of cards, letters and ephemera from friends and family, alongside his stencilled declarations of physical desire and queer erotic images, competed for space on the walls, ceilings and much of the furniture, describing his own identity back to him. Christian mysticism and Eastern spirituality jostle with sex-fantasy directives and repeated phrases, often in fluent French. Over the years, the info-blizzard became infused with humour, a love of life, and a vivid enthusiasm for love itself.

The display will also include insights and memories from Drako's close friends and creative collaborators to add further illuminative detail.

Extensive images gleaned from male pornography will be displayed throughout the exhibition.
