Presented at NGV’s Melbourne Design Week
A durational performance exploring notions of temporality, bodily configuration and perception to expand how we experience bodies and clothing. As the performance unfolded across two hours, models assumed still-life poses with the assistance of a body-suspending installation. Meanwhile, onlookers interacted with the work by moving around to explore it from various vantage points, and sharing their perspectives via social media.
