Duration and change, black and white, inside or outside, Grace Kelly versus Ami Winehouse...I am interested in contrasts. I process clothing with a distinctive social code as for example uniforms, sportswear or gentlemen's shirts and look for an antithetic context. Old, discarded commodities become an individual item – men's ties are reborn as swishing skirts, an old police uniform turns into a lascivious bustier dress and sportswear transforms into elegant evening attire. In other words: how much would I love to tailor a blouse for Madonna that is made of Helge Schneider’s underpants or vice versa!
Each dress is unique and in any one of them you will find a personalised tag with its wearer’s name.I document the entire process including portraits. These Pictures then form the base for my artistic work.
