Hans Christian Andersen Brief storyline:
A well known fairytale where an Emperor has requested a new set of clothes. The two who produce his new clothes make it from a magically invisible material that only one worthy of being Emperor can see. The Emperor pretends he can see it to not feel stupid and ends up parading through the streets with his head held high. A boy notices he is naked and points it out to the crowd...
This has similar themes to those that rise with Marcel DuChamp. The notion that if you believe something to be one way in your mind other people may not necessarily see it that way no matter how much you are persuaded it's the truth. Perspectives are always different and you need to take this into account when parading around your work...or simply parading around naked. Yet another fairytale with all the wisdom of the world condensed into a story understandable to any age.
