Goal
The aim of this project is to create, produce and materialize hybrids of different visual languages that have fashion as their convergence point.
Main ideas
Fashion is a language – an expression of material culture -‐ and therefore it is a powerful producer of subjectivities. Fashion is a creative and productive field of work that generates different artistic languages. A project is a process of artistic creation in its various forms which is constantly updated. Things are not static, they are dynamic. Therefore, to create a field of action is also to be created by it. Karlla’s work should be understood as an unstable cartography through which she seeks to draw the borders of formal and visual representations. Her methodology affirms artistic creation as a flux and the field where the construction of concepts and thoughts happen.
Methodology
The project will create aesthetic narratives and syntaxes related to daily mythologies, giving new meanings to research and production in fashion. To achieve this, discarded materials will be collected using different methods:
1. a public notice asking for donation of garments that aren’t in use (on line and newspapers);
2. collection of material littered, discarded in supermarkets and other places (card boxes, plastic bags, etc)
3. purchase of cheap daily use objects, present in every household, such as plates, cutlery, sieves, sauce pans, etc.
All these materials will be used to create clothes and accessories.
Outcome
The final result will be a fashion show – 12/15 looks.
