From the worn den­im jack­et to the extrav­a­gant glit­ter dress: our clothes are an expres­sion of who we are, who we want to be and some­times have to be. What does this “sec­ond skin” say about us?
The Dutch artists from Zwer­m­ers have been work­ing on an ongo­ing artis­tic project about cloth­ing and iden­ti­ty since 2018. These two things are close­ly linked. Con­scious­ly and uncon­scious­ly, we shape our­selves — every day — through what we wear. We are con­stant­ly observed and inter­pret­ed by oth­ers. Accom­pa­nied by a vio­lin­ist with a loop sta­tion, whose music is inspired by Philip Glass and Hausch­ka, they use their numer­ous items of cloth­ing to illus­trate how flu­id our iden­ti­ty can be and focus on the col­or­ful and ver­sa­tile human being.
