As foreshadowed in his The Life of Pablo album track, Kanye West is now officially the “Silver Surfer in the flesh.” The artist premiered his new opera Mary from a floating barge at Art Basel Miami on Sunday and donned an all-silver look that’s now as iconic as it is meme-worthy.
The Vanessa Beecroft-directed opera is based on the biblical story of the birth of Jesus Christ. Unlike his first opera Nebuchadnezzar, in which West narrated the story from off-stage, here he retold the Christmas nativity from among the Sunday Service choir — who were also (mostly) decked out in the same silver lamé robes and spray-painted faces.
