About Ephemeral

we are xander dumas & elliot mittens, a collaborative duo, sweethearts, makers, performers & story tellers. Inspired by antiquated devices of wonder, ornate vintage costumes, the bold & the subversive we thrive by observing the connection of pattern. every object & thought & notion & expression derived in infinite scale boundless in each direction. From these patterns we collect the ones in which we resonate to display within our cabinet of curiosities.

Charmion

Charmion
1875 –1949

hard & soft
graceful, breath, extension, strong, bronze, brass,
confident, proud, risqué
A vaudevillian Strong Woman & trapeze artist,
Charmion queered up Victorian era gender presentations
in her abundant displays of muscle, skin & moxie.
She scandalized the stage by performing a
‘Trapeze Disrobing Act’,
in which, between incredible displays of
strength, grace & endurance,
she disrobed down to her corset & pantalettes.
You can still witness this tantalizing performance as it was documented in one of Edison’s premier motion pictures: ‘Charmion 1901’

present here, an 1890’s era, Circus Arts advertisement-style poster explored within a life-size, sculptural tapestry vignette; Charmion poses graceful & defiant moments after her spectacle of opulently plumed, mesmerizing musculature.
Created for an upcoming installation called ‘Gay Wax Museum’ during Austin Texas’s OUTsider festival, which highlights queer and or gender defiant persons within the LGBTQIA history, present & future.
This multi-dimensional installation diorama measures 8‘ tall & 4.5’ wide, and is created with fabric, gatorboard, illustration, paint & inspiration.

    Maria Spelterini 1853 -1912 Maria Spelterini was the first... & only woman to cross the Niagara Gorge on tightrope. She crossed four times in the span of three weeks. First, on July 7, 1876, (in celebration of the U.S. centennial) with strength & poise she danced across vast, rushing water, on 2 1/4” wire, pausing so slightly at the finish, only to reverse this daring feat-backwards! in heels! & bodice! If the restrictions of her outfit wasn’t hard enough, for her second performance, On July 12,she donned woven peach baskets. Her third, July 19, she wore a blindfold to ‘better impress’ her spectators, who, thus far commented more on her “buxom build”,bodice & beauty, than her skill , strength, grace & focus. Her fourth & final crossing, on July 22, she manacled her wrists & ankles... Oh, and she wore a ‘jaunty hat’.
