“Jeg vil være den anden, jeg vil have ham til at være mig, som om vi var forenet, låst i den samme pose hud, kappen er kun den glatte skal af dette sammenflydende stof, hvorfra mine forestillinger om kærlighed er bygget.” Roland Barthes
Fragment af en kærlighedstale
Så snart jeg blev interesseret i denne tekst om kærlighedsforhold, ønskede jeg at realisere dette projekt. Når vi elsker nogen sjæleligt, ønsker vi at være dem, at smelte sammen med dem. Så dette værk forestiller os, at vi bliver den, vi elsker. Glasfiberkjoler er designet til at passe til flere mennesker. Selve tøjets form bevarer og vidner om sporene af et forhold og inviterer os samtidig til at deltage i dette forhold ved selv at passe det. Objektet inviterer således til den amorøse intimitet hos dem, der bærer det.
Dens former falder sammen med vores, omfavner os. Et billede, en mulig afspejling af, hvad vi ønsker at blive, projiceres på tøjet af tre videoprojektorer. Tøjet og deres materiale transporterer os til indersiden af billedet, som om vi var iklædt vores ønsker. Denne juvel af billeder er i øvrigt bestemt til at udvikle sig i overensstemmelse med vores ønsker. Når man ser på billedernes refleksioner, har man en fornemmelse af, at hver af de udstillede beklædningsgenstande fortæller sin egen historie… Siden denne idé kom til mig, ville jeg lave et værk om disse kjoler. Fordi hver kjole har sin egen historie, ville jeg sætte tre kjoler sammen.
Disse kjoler fortæller forskellige historier gennem de forskellige brugte billeder. I mit arbejde er hver glasfiberkjole oplyst af forskellige farvede lys, der repræsenterer de forskellige historier, og disse lys ændrer sig meget langsomt, som om hver kjole fortæller sin egen historie, og den historie udvikler sig over tid. Når kjolerne er sat sammen på denne måde, skinner de desto mere.
Anvendte materialer: fiberoptik, lysgenerator (LED), videoprojektor, dvd-afspiller

“I want to be the other, I want him to be me, as if we were united, locked in the same bag of skin, the robe being only the smooth shell of this confluent matter from which my conceptions of love are built. “Roland Barthes
Fragment of a love speech
As soon as I became interested in this text about love relationships, I wanted to realize this project. When we love someone soulfully, we want to be them, to merge with them. So this work imagines us becoming the one we love. Fiberglass dresses are designed to fit multiple people. The shape of the garment itself preserves and testifies to the traces of a relationship and at the same time invites us to participate in this relationship by fitting it ourselves. The object thus invites the amorous intimacy of those who wear it.
Its forms coincide with ours, embrace us. An image, a possible reflection of what we want to become, is projected onto the clothes by three video projectors. The clothes and their material transport us to the inside of the image, as if we were clothed in our desires. This jewel of images, by the way, is destined to evolve according to our desires. Looking at the reflections of the pictures, you have the feeling that each of the garments on display tells its own story…. Since this idea came to me, I wanted to create a work about these dresses. Because each dress has its own story, I wanted to put three dresses together.
These dresses tell different stories through the different images used. In my work, each fiberglass dress is illuminated by different colored lights representing the different stories, and these lights change very slowly, as if each dress tells its own story and that story evolves over time. When the dresses are put together in this way, they shine all the more.
Materials used: fiber optics, light generator (LED), video projector, DVD player
