Flora Sophie Taubner

VALUE includes ten outfits which should be understood as sculptures. The starting point for each model was a contrasting pair of factors that make a garment supposedly valuable or worthless.
Social conventions and clichéd themes were heavily used. The initial ideas were all based on a ready-made, a so-called objet trouvé. During the process, it was always questioned which aspects of the objet trouvé were still important in the end in order to make the desired statement comprehensible. During the working process, these were partly alienated, fragmented or replaced by the artist's own material.
The aim of the collection is to unsettle the viewer with regard to his or her established values.
In order to achieve this desired irritating effect, surreal and performative aesthetics were used.
The irritation is intended to lead to a kind of recalibration. Entrenched values are to be shaken in order to loosen up and rearrange themselves.
