FORME
A dress contains a multitude of meanings: it is conceived, shaped, it can undergo a change, finding its materialisation in form and in history.
The costume, understood as popular and court clothing, has undergone a distinct evolution over the course of human history running parallel and influenced by the social and cultural context of the time.
Deepening these changes – aided by theatre costume designer Marina Sciarelli – Forme takes its shape through a series of garments belonging to different eras, worn by subjects selected to reflect the physiognomy a chosen historical period ranging from the Middle Ages to the mid-1800s.
Through movement, the three-dimensionality of the dress becomes the protagonist and places the garment within the contemporary context, one characterised by abstraction and detached from a time based reading of our relationship with identity and symbols.
