Tekst

En krop er tredimensionel, og tøj konstrueres til at rumme kroppen. Uden krop er tøjet fladt. Næsten - for beklædning rummer et tredimensionelt potentiale. Men det ser vi sjældent i tøjet, der ligger på gulvet, er foldet over stolen eller hænger til tørre. Dette projekt undersøger fladhed og rummelighed i tøj. Er aflagt tøj som død hud; abjekt, hverken subjekt eller objekt? Har beklædning uden krop en skulpturel og tekstil værdi, måske som relief eller objekt? Og kan man udflade materialernes hierarki og se på beklædning med nye øjne?

A body is three-dimensional, and clothing is designed to accommodate the body. Without a body, the garment is flat. Almost – for clothing holds a three-dimensional potential. But we rarely see that when the clothes are lying on the floor, are folded over a chair or are hanging out to dry. This project investigates the flatness and the roominess of clothing. Is discarded clothing like dead skin; abject, neither subject nor object? Does clothing without a body have a sculptural and a textile value, perhaps as a relief or an object? And can one flatten the hierarchy of the materials and look at clothing with fresh eyes?
