Fashion Salad

Daca tot vorbim de conexiunile creative intre moda si arta contemporana, am descoperit recent lucrarile Erwinei Ziomkowska, o artista poloneza, mare amatoare de instalatii si de obiecte absurde. Fie ca ne referim la impactul vizual al acestor obiecte, la aluziile fashion sau la absurditatea lor gratioasa, aceste piese merita toata atentia noastra.
Un set de lenjerie, un clutch sau o pereche de pantofi sunt tot atatea pretexte pentru exercitii estetice si conceptuale. Referindu-se la abordarea personala, artista se declara „minimalista” : ea opteaza pentru activitati repetitive si gesturi compulsive precum punctarea, scobirea, zgarierea, care se finalizeaza in obiecte extrem de simple, de o frumusete absurda si sterila.

„A crucial element for the understanding of the works presented is an omnipresent doubt, which appears here the whole time (but with a different intensity) with a gentle kind of tension underneath. This sense of uncertainty appears to drive the whole acting system, based on the principle of repetition, bringing to mind a ritual process of transition. Where the rhythm of multiplied actions organizes the change, thus activating a complex process of internal transformation.

As far as the ritual goes there is a sort of external manifestation easing the transformation appearance- the subject of time passing, taken simultaneously, is a component driving this process from the inside.”
