I was one of the field participants. Being a part of this giant group of masked people, covered from head to toe felt so epic. The energy was something else.

The ending is most definitely Kanye rising up closer to his mother. The beam of light goes up out of the stadium and projects up into the heavens where Donda is. This album brings Kanye closer to his mother and is a tribute to her and so that’s the main reason he rises towards the sky above is the heavenly light

*What would’ve really been epic, is if we didn’t see him come out at all. But was one of the guys walking in the circle with the rest of the participants. Just completely blending in. Then, have the lights go dim, flicker back on, and see him floating. Would’ve been fire*

The difference between Kanye and other celebrities, is that he uses fame to create art while others use art to get fame

Ye's Margiela masks and Daft Punk's helmets are the reasons why I hide my face whenever it comes to creating. Preventing automatic, surface-level judgements on what the artist looks like helps so much in getting your purpose/message across. Beautiful analysis Bliss, well done!

As someone whose only real exposure to the world of fashion is your channel, I missed all of these references and connections - thank you for making this!

We are just living in the post-Martin Margiela and Helmut Lang fashion world at this point. It's like everything are back to them.

3:45 Just adding that the bed has a stark resemblance to Tracey Emin's "My Bed" from 1999, like there is no way he wasn't inspired by that because the concept is almost exactly the same. Tracey's bed was a recreation of a depressive grieving phase in her life when she had remained in bed for four days without eating or drinking anything but alcohol.

Fascinating! Honestly I’ve never been much of a Kayne West fan but your interpretation of this event has given me a greater respect for him. I love seeing Martin’s concepts applied in other artistic arenas. Your analysis is fantastic as always

The point made about Kanye silencing himself as a means of creative motivation is fantastic. Looking at the success of this album and the performance art he’s created as part of the whole Donda project seriously shows how effective it is for him- he’s Kanye, he likes to talk and be heard. Forcing himself to solely communicate his ideas through his work as an artist is just some real genius shit

i really really like the way you're storyteling, it shows that you know a lot about this stuff and you're genuinely passionate about it, it's contagious. Makes me actually be interested in fashion

Amazing fashion analysis! I initially thought about Balenciaga when I saw his clothes but had no idea for the merch! I initially thought back to the life of Pablo, and that reference. Mainly on the way Picasso would document everything. And in the way Kanye is now documenting the entire process, from the documentary to now the live stream. And even what seems to be a live version of the album being made. With Picasso documenting every steps of a piece being made with lith prints, dates, ideas and so forth. Love the videos!

I didn't know how much I wanted to find a channel like this until I found it...dinner parties at your house must be full of fantastic conversations!!

Many, many references to Joseph Beuys - I Love America and America Loves Me from 1974. Vest, duvet coat, room, etc. Love your videos!

I think kanye wearing the cover also could’ve been a reference to Joseph beuys “i like America and America likes me” where he dons a similar cover, it should also be acknowledged kanye tweeted a photo of beuys wearing the cover on 2018. The whole donda release also gave me a beuys performance art type of vibe where he’s locking himself up and live-streaming his creative process of his album creation.

This is so cool man i love fashion and i could watch this for hours, the whole story’s behind designs and artists are amazing 🔥

so entertaining, so intelligent, love every single minute!!! I learn so much from every video, Bliss. thank you.

Also that choreography at 12:06 feels symbolic to Tawaf during Hajj (Pilgrimage for Muslims) Kanye with square light as the Kaaba and the performers circle around. Just my theory! I mean Kanye is religious and might have took inspiration from a form of worship.

Them walking around in a circle around a cube reminds me of what people do in Mecca. There’s a lot more to the show that people don’t realize.

i can believe you posted about this. so excited to watch. love it

I too immediately thought of the Margiela fitting rooms when I saw the 24 hour stream. One idea I had about the whole performance though, that ties into the discussion ya'll were having about masks. The almost paradoxical idea in Christianity that God cares about everyone on a personal level. I guess you could sum it up like "You're special, just like everyone else". I think that has a strong parallel to putting a Margiela mask on a high profile individual, like you mentioned earlier about simultaneous ego and anti-ego. I think this is reinforced by the final track being called "No Child Left Behind". In the equalizing state of being a child of God Ye truly is just another person, but doesn't lose any uniqueness in being so. This could also be reinforced by the fact that there is an absurd amount of features on what is believed to be a very personal album.

this was an incredible introduction to your channel, must now watch it all

Just came across your channel and I don’t think I’ll be watching something else till I’m done with all the videos you’ve posted. Thanks for the great content, intelligent explanation, awesome quotes. 👏🏻

This video was not at all what I was looking for, but I am so happy I watched the whole thing. Adds a whole other layer to the music. Thank you, sir.

I just wanted to thank you for your videos they are some of the best and most intellectual content I’ve consumed in a long time. They have also helped me understand my own creative process.

happy to see you get mor recognition. totally deserved

WHAT??? Was not expecting you to cover this 🤩

THANK YOU SO MUCH! best video I have seen in a while

Amazing video Bliss. I got into runways last year so couldn't have found a better channel.

Im a huge Kanye fan but never dove into the merch and fashion. This was interesting as hell. You got a new sunscriber. I love learning new stuff. Especially about art.

this is so well done, bravo !! bliss foster is the GOAT

You get an A+ for this piece Bliss. You’re on fire. Thank you.

This video is amazing. thank you for sharing your knowledge on KZfaq, I am learning a lot thanks to you!

Is Kanye’s bed and some of his personal items on stage not a more direct reference to Tracy Emin’s “My Bed”?

Kanye's a genius when it comes to music and he picks up the best in the game or their field.

Love your analyses and how you titrate out the fashion details in various other art

Again, this is crazy. I’d never identify those references. Thanks again 4 the best fashion content

Beautiful video thank you

Bliss, this is my first view of ya'! You killed it, informative and believable! Do you, Bliss! Dope shirt!

Why did i decided to watch this at 2 am in the morning?! Now i wanna get uo and fix a few ideas that you wonderful video gave me!

The listening party performance was so good. It wasn’t just Kanye running around doing whatever. No, he’s too calculated for that. He was giving us an insight into the creative process of Donda while STILL being in the process. He laid on the bed, he looked at notes, he worked out, he fell to his knees and cried, he prayed, etc. He took away the 4 walls of his infamous Mercedes Benz Stadium “dorm room” that he posted a pic of and let the world see him in work

this has the potential to be the best video on this channel

Wow. Great video. Didn’t think I’d watch the whole video. Good job!

Greattt video dawg. I've been procrastinating a video on Vestments I've been working on but you kinda motivated me to finish and publish it

sick vid man. super informative.

Kanye really is one of the greatest artists to ever live. Even if you aren’t a fan of his music, fashion etc his influence and depth is undeniable.

Love your content bro. Thanks !

The walking in circles around the stage looks like a Mekka reference

Thank you for providing the much needed context.

I always wanted a Kanye video from you

hope this brings u a lot of views bliss u deserve it

I finally did it! Became a patron of yours! big fan of Margiela myself, since my early interest in avantgarde and darker fashion as a teen in the southern German countryside around 2005 or so. After a few years of fashion asceticism and minimalism, I have started to rekindle my love and passion for fashion and style and to consume content around it again 2 yrs ago. Your channel has really helped me to see it all in a more positive light of art and culture again after my perosnal rebellion against capitalism that made it hard for me to appreciate clothing anymore... I very much appreciated your Jacquemus video! I mean, pretty much all your videos. Which is why I finally became a patreon. much love from Germany.

My interpretation/theory that the room was symbolic of the tomb Jesus was put in after he was crucified and then later ascended to heaven. Him being completely alone and exposed at the first show to him being surrounded at this one seems significant in some way if it was planned out. Loved the video though I wouldn’t have caught all of those references :)

You're amazing!!!!! What a great analysis!!! Bravo! A+ from the art professor!

Thank you for the brake down. People tend to call other people crazy when they themselves don’t understand.

great video. great information, amazing roll out

All the way in South Africa and I love this,! Subscribing.

This video was amazing . You did a great job once again

Amazing video...you are talented....like good documentary....great work

love this! Thanks for the insights

Thank you for sharing your deep understanding of the event.

I appreciate how knowledgeable you are. Great video!👌🏾

Love that you’re a Ye Stan too Bliss 🥂

the location reminds me of barney's cremaster cycle and so does the fake sky but myb I'm biased because I checked out kanyes twitter and among the last posts there was a book by/on barney. Enjoyed the video so much, thank u!

Beautiful video thank u for knowledge

Awesome video. Thanks man!

As an FYI, that “Siberian bear hunting armor” actually comes from a Cabinet of curiosities and is believed to be a piece of art rather than armor for hunting.

Very well put together video. Great edit...

love your work thank you!

Awesome video!!!

The "blanket jacket" could also be a reference to the piece by Joseph Beuys "I like America and America likes me" that Kanye referenced earlier in his work. In the performance art piece Beuys wears a huge blanket while living with a coyote in small room.

This video is brilliantly put together you're so interesting man, subscribed

Loved the breakdown

There’s something beautiful about the interlude where the word “donda” is incessantly repeated. in my perspective, it seems like when you say a word a million times, it begins to lose its meaning. With the Word “Donda” it was originally Kanye’s mother’s name, however with the constant talk of the album and the countless hours of work that Kanye is putting into the project, the word may be losing its meaning as the name of his mother as he continues to work on the project and as people continue to keep talking about it

Thankyou for this 🙏

fantastic analysis! very insightful!

Very well put together video

this was extremely beautiful, especially when you connected the ascension to the birth of a new Kanye.

Thanks as always for the killer video, Bliss

The bed mock up at 3:45 is also a reference to Tracey Emin's iconic and controversial installation "My Bed"
