Animatronic Fashion mashup
Furthering his technological trend, Chalayan unveiled the collection entitlledReadings, on screen, eshewing the conventional runway. The dresses themselves are highly structured, creating bold silhouettes from which the laser beams radiate. They are embellished with Swarovski crystals that either deflect the lasers, or take in their light, depending on the angle of the laser. The effect is hauntingly beautiful; where lasers shine directly into Swarovski crystals, they resemble glowing embers, yet where they are deflected the laser beams project into the surrounding space, evoking phantasmagorical new-age sun gods.
REIN VOLLENGA
Ephemeral and ethereal
Ephemeral and ethereal, the work of artist Rein Vollenga is particularly notable in his ‘wearable sculpture’. Vollenga’s unique and visceral work is darkly seductive, and his creations have been embraced by many of fashions forward thinkers as they continue to venture into darker, more fetishistic territory that celebrates a deeper, animalistic sexuality and revels in individuality and fragmented identity. Vollenga is a native of Berlin, reflected in the Teutonic avant garde nature that pervades his work, as is a dangerous, slightly sinister and hedonistic sense that harks back to pre-war Berlin’s days of decadence and ‘voluptuous panic’; his creations conjure all the allure of the decadence of a futuristic Ball Masque. Renowned for his wearable art, which takes form in sculptural headwear and accessories, the artist is now gaining the attention and patronage of the fashion industries elite; a more severe and gothic, 21st Century Dali if you will. Chasseur sat down with Rein himself to discuss his work; its origins and nature, and what drives the man behind the masks.

“Working in a number of media, the subject matters I explore focus on individuals and groups of people on the periphery of dominant culture and I enter their contexts to work from a position of inclusion that approaches, as closely as possible, the residing dynamics of social and psychological forces.”

fantastic planet
El planeta salvaje (en francés La planète sauvage) es una película francesa animada de ciencia ficción de 1973 dirigida por el francés René Laloux, es hoy uno de los grandes clásicos de la animación europea. A través de una historia de ciencia ficción, el film nos sumerge en el drama de dos sociedades enfrentadas entre sí, a través de la opresión, y en el incierto destino al que se enfrentan, abocadas a la propia destrucción. A destacar, además de la trama, la impactante estética que presenta, heredera de los cánones de la época y el lugar en que fue creada.

Plastic tree
Tree branches of various distances and dimensions grow horizontally from the surface, inverting the usual experience and traditional relationship we have with trees. rather than leaves, the bark bears brightly colored plastic bags on its edges, crudely tied to each organic limb. While the work stands as a visual symbol of the harmful effects of pollution and consumerism on the environment, ‘plastic tree’ is also an investigation towards the artistic qualities of plastic as a medium, and its incorporation with natural materials.

Ursula Neugebauer
tour en l’air
With “tour en l’air”, the Berlin artist Ursula Neugebauer returns to an unforgettable childhood experience: Donned with the first long skirt in the fast turn around your own axis, to experience a previously unknown body feeling – and to get to know a new form of stability in the rotation.
Tour en l’air is an impressive installation at the intersection of fashion, art and architecture. Decorative busts slip into several floor-length red taffeta dresses and come to life thanks to computer-controlled electric motors. Although the individual components are of purely mechanical and material origin, the overall composition appears as a poetic expression of the human: namely a magical dance.

Çalışmalarında sürrealizm ve Sci-fi tarzını harmanlayıp 80′lerin futuristik havasını pastel renklerle birleştiriyor ve sonucunda ortaya çok değişik ve dikkat çekici işler çıkıyor[…] Çalışmalarındaki güzellik detaylardan çok renkleri çok doğru ve oranlı kullanması ve bunun yanında sürekli bakmanızı sağlayan bir odak noktası yaratması olsa gerek. Genellikle uzay temalı ve karmaşık renkli sürreal çalışmalar üretmektedir.

Kolorowe obrazy przestrzenne z bawełnianych nici i zszywek sprawiają wrażenie instalacji świetlnych. Nic bardziej mylnego- te rzeźby powstały dzięki kilometrom bawełnianych szpul, godzinom pracy fizycznej, umysłowej (nie mam pojęcia jak wyglądał proces projektowania umiejscowienia każdego z krańców nitki, aby stworzyć tak spójną całość!) i przede wszystkim POMYSŁOWI artystki!
