Opening & performance: 25 January 2024 (Thurs), 6:30 – 8:00 pm
Goethe-Institut Bulgaria, 1 Budapest Street, Sofia
The DIALOGUE IN WHITE 2024 project presents conceptual fashion beyond the traditional convention and function of fashion design. DIALOGUE IN WHITE 2024 in the form of a fashion performance and installation exists both as a medium and as an experimental field for presenting contemporary fashion, where clothing is only a provocative object. The objects (clothing) represent achromatic "spots" in geometric constructions made of recycled textile material with original artists' interventions. The palpable absence of the body is a peculiar study of the relationship between personality and clothing and an effective principle for popularising the philosophy of the so-called sustainable or slow fashion.
This project is an expression of the purposeful attitude of the artists to the modern, ethical and ecological clothing that is so important for us in the 21st century.
