Project: BOOMSHIRT (2010) Description:‘Think, intervene and send’. In the Boomshirt project, a shirt was passed between 3 designers, each intervening on it independently and then sending it to the next designer; with the last designer sending it back to the curators of a Boomshirt exposition during Estoril Fashionart Festival in Portugal. I participated in this project together with Daniela Pais and Wieteke Opmeer. With inspiration drawn from the projects motto – WE HAVE POWER – a trail of energy poles and a cables forming ‘power line’ have been drawn and embroidered on the shirt starting from the waist and ending on the top chest button – hinting at the hidden use of the lamp on the main shit pocket. The shirt was made into a lamp, but with a limited amount of energy only, urging the wearer to use his ‘pocket lamp’ only when necessary and to preserve the energy that the shirt has. I have also chosen to interact and emphasize Wieteke’s statement about silk(prev. intervention) by giving the lamp a shape that together with the patterns of Wieteke’s dyed silk pockets created a light image of a cocoon that reminds us where does silk come from and the life that it had once preserved Estoril Fashionart Festival Portugal Boomshirts' Gallery |
