“De-virtualisation, body and fabric” explores how we perceive our identity through the manipulation of our visible and invisible body through the use of material objects. It questions the binary and standard fashion mannequin and proposes a new body on which to project new sensations.

It is inspired by the exhibition: “Are Clothes Modern?” by Bernard Rudofsky. This exhibition questioned fashion by exploring the relationship between the garment and the body on the margins of the established. The ambiguous and subtle transcends the “acceptable” and beautiful” as a sign of the true expression of human nature.

Cotton, linen and wool . The interlinings of horsehair, canvas, tarlatan and buckram are glue-free and hand sewn. Birch plywood and papier-mâché were used for the mannequin. The mannequin gears are made of 3D printing and metal.
