a scenographic approach to fashion

Luxurious. Beautiful. Aspirational - a group of models walks down the runway.

How did these creatures come to be here? What are their stories? Trapped in the machine of creation, it seems to be a matter of time before the unsustainable nature of this repetition can no longer keep going. How can we reclaim freedom of imagination when it has been co-opted by the systems in which we move?

In their graduation work, Lou Seidel and Inge Gutzeit explore scenography on/of the body and how to claim back joy in a practice that has been taken over by pressures to keep producing.
