Further to my work analysing the relationship between the real garment and its representation, I have been looking at reality and existence within fashion representation. Once transformed into an image, a garment takes on other qualities than its own. It is not a real garment that we consume- but an image- the garment is part of the image- but the reality of the image means the garment does not exist. I have been deconstructing images as part of my research, exposing the image- and searching for the point where the garment actually exists in what we see.
Hi Nic
ReplyDeleteNice post. You really should read 'The Future of The Image' by Jacques Ranciere. It's right up your street.
