For stort et hoved – for små hænder
Med udgangspunkt i egne portrætmalerier har Filippa Geslin skabt ’Head Too Big’ and ’Hands Too Small’ – en kunsterisk tøjkollektion, der spejler den ensomhed og magtesløshed corona-pandemien har medført, især for unge mennesker. De psykiske tilstande under lock-down er reflekteret i kollektionen i form af kropsstillinger, især hændernes forhold til hovedet, og hvordan vi bruger vores hænder til at støtte et ’tungt’ hoved. Tøjet fastlåser én og begrænser bevægelserne, ligesom pandemien gjorde det mentalt og fysisk.

Head Too Big – Hands Too Small
Based on her own portrait paintings Filippa Geslin has created ‘Head Too Big’ and ‘Hands Too Small’, an artistic clothing collection that reflects the sense of loneliness and powerlessness many, especially young people, have experienced during the coronavirus pandemic. The psychological states associated with lockdown are echoed in body positions and postures, with a special focus on the hands and head and the way we might use our hands to support a ‘heavy’ head. By locking the wearer in and restricting their movements, the clothes evoke the mental and physical confinement of lockdown.
