Partner of the late Manfred Thierry Mugler, Krzysztof Leon Dziemaszkiewicz is a Polish performance artist based in Berlin. From a little kitchen in Schillerpromenade, he and I spoke together about his highly inventive art practice - and what it was like navigating the first year of grief after the passing of his partner.

This podcast is part of an interactive media library which accompanies my documentary Carton d'invitation. It's a film about my work reporting for Fashion Television in Paris during "The Golden Age", the 80s and 90s. My documentary naturally revisits my encounters with Mugler so it was important - and moving - for me to be able to talk to Leon for this podcast.

A gentle warning to people dealing with loss that some of the content deals with the process of grieving.
