IMMATERIAL COLLECTION 2016

"IMMATERIAL COLLECTION" BY IVAN GINCHEV

THE PROJECT PRESENTS TWO OPPOSITE SIDES OF CLOTHING - MATERIALITY AND IMMATERIALITY, INSPIRED BY ARTIST YVES KLEIN AND HIS ATTEMPTS TO SET HUMAN PERCEPTION FREE OF MATERIAL LIMITS.
MAIN “MATERIALS” OF THE COLLECTION ARE FUSIBLE - NORMALLY HIDDEN INSIDE GARMENTS TO STRENGTHEN THEIR "WEAK" SPOTS AND MUSLIN-BECAUSE OF ITS GOOD QUALITIES AND LOW MARKET VALUE USED FOR TEST MODELS.
THE INTERLINING IS PLACED ON THE OUTSIDE AND BURNED. IT IS “DEMATERIALIZED” BY THE FLAME, LEAVING ONLY A TRACE. THE PROJECT EMPHASIZES THE PHYSICAL AND MORAL FRAGILITY OF CLOTHING AND FASHION, BUT ALSO THEIR CONSTANT INTERACTION, POSSIBLE OUTSIDE MATERIAL LIMITATIONS.
