2023
I was thinking about how strange it is that runway shows only feature fancy dresses on white gallery spaces or abandoned backgrounds, or fancy outfits in posh locales, yet eccentric anti-fashion attempts are only shown in white or abandoned spaces.
Why aren’t there more unconventional shows held in historical locations linked with something ‘high’ and ‘elite’? What if we allowed it happen more frequently?
Rather than letting them remain as scattered snapshots, I transformed them into a conceptual “exhibition,” accompanied by a satirical synopsis and an interpretive article.
This project looks at the relationship between fashion and place through the lenses of dissonance and oddity. Inspired by the concept of anti-fashion and Marc Jacobs’ New York Public Library show, I play with image-making techniques such as photography, AI-generated pictures, and collage.
