Dress as a tragedy, 2011

An experimental film focused on the destruction of cliches about dramatic ambiguity of dress and overcoming the contradictions between the meanings of the dress — as a piece of fashion industry and a source of the artist’s mediation. On the one hand a dress is a revealing painting, a sculpture — flexible, moving. On the other hand a dress is a trend, an object of consumerism, a social identity marker, a product of fashion industry and a piece of the material world. Walking on the edge of art and fashion a dress is exposed to tragic ambiguousness. As well as the author of a dress. We have to find out new idioms of beauty, which in their turn move us to create a new directions, rereadings and languages.
