Holding a pose

Life is casual

Nothing is random

Keep me posted

Don’t be bored

It’s an image of a discovery. Of what is hidden beneath manufactured garments. By taking them apart, the single elements loose and reclaim their pre-named reference at the same time. The dislocated pieces are in need of a new position.

Working mainly with existing garments brings limitations; I only have one of it. An exciting consequence the garment and I have to face. A contrasting balance compared to creating pieces from zero. Even there, I aim to make my first version to be the potential final one.

The alterations seem slight, but.

My garments are an invitation to a pose. Casual and precise. A pose is a constant embodied dialogue, within. You’ll see handles, pockets or loops. The silhouettes stay subtle. The wearers‘ body puts the garment in place, meanwhile the garment puts the wearer in its mindset.

_

Another conversation is opened by creating sculptural forms, placing objects and garments. Questioning their relationship, an initiation to reanalyze themselves, also making us reanalyze who to dress. A trial of ditching hierarchies between non-human and human bodies.

_

The ever ongoing dialog between me and the pieces and the pieces with its wearer and vice versa. The wearer as in human body or object body. Without its wearer, they don’t work. They activate the clothes I offer.

Shyness is hot
