CONJUNCTION 1.0
.
Bachelor diploma project 21
.
Extending the current existing, supposedly completed clothing system by creating over 39 indipendent Modules, consisting of 8 subsystems, conjuncting in a self contained system.
.
In my thesis project, I define the resulting collection as a self-contained system, where the individual look is a subsystem and a separate part of it a subsubsystem.
I work in a modular way and bring the created parts within the system into a collective whole.
This modularity requires the acceptance that nothing is ever finished. Everything is changing and evolving, which means that new connections are always possible.
Modular parts, which adapt to the wearer through the technique used and the selected closure or connection, separate parts of the body from each other and bring them together again.
The question of the body is central. Where does it begin? Where does it end?
Example: Esben Weile, connected pair of boots as a self-contained body; and Tony Cragg, wood sculpture: independently functioning interlocked bodies, which as a whole, however, represent only one body.
Playfully rethink and expand the supposedly self-contained clothing system that can be found today.
Use of materials that are not typical for the purpose, atypical of the technique. Material in the sense of wabi sabi. Attraction of the imperfect, acceptance of the unfinished.
Beauty as a changeable state of consciousness. Material as an extension of the human body, juxtaposed with the skin.
Giving depth through layering and superimposing different substances.
Playing with transparency, where is the skin covered, where is it exposed?
.
rawness, fragility and strength.
