Everything and Everybody as Material: Dialogical Bodies : Making new peripheries in fashion

Over the years, the visual dimension of fashion and clothing and how humans ‘imprint’ their culture onto garments has been largely emphasized. This project seeks to challenge this emphasis by exploring a less common lens: that of experience by asking ‘What remains relevant when the visuality of clothing becomes peripherical?’ In this work, a series of 5 garments are presented in audio form and invite participants to draw their interpretations of the narrated pieces. The narrations are extracted from a diary that collected the author’s experiences with her own garments.

The information on artistic outputs in the Aalto Research Portal follows the reporting guidelines of Finland’s Ministry of Education and Culture.
