When an experience leaves you, quite literally, blown awayโฆ thatโs exactly what happened at Inspiration X in Vilnius last month.
Artist โs keynote became the highest-rated of the event and one of the most talked-about moments across the group. Why? It was the work itself, the atmosphere he created, his way of thinking, and the way people were invited to become part of it. Thatโs right: after his keynote, our members were invited to recreate his (in)famous โBlowjobโ portrait series in a live photoshoot, a simple setup that quickly became one of the most memorable parts of the experience (swipe to see the results).
But what stayed with people wasnโt just the photos. It was his perspective: the way he talks about creative life, about letting go of control, and about not trying to shape every outcome in advance. It resonated not just in the room, but afterwards.
Our Head of Community, Christina Pilz, sat down with the artist to discuss creativity, audience expectations, discomfort, and what actually makes something stay with people.
She started by asking about play, risk, and freedom in creativity, and how he personally decides what risks are worth taking, and whatโs too far.
His answer reframed the question entirely: โThe biggest risk I ever took was choosing a creative life at all. I could have gone the stable route, clear career, steady income, predictable future. Instead I chose freedom, knowing that freedom means full responsibility for yourself. Thatโs the real risk. After that, everything else feels more like play. Mistakes arenโt something to fear, theyโre built into the process. Once you commit to this path, failure and success stop being opposites. They become the same thing.โ
More from that conversation soon.
