Deconstructed

IN THE DECONSTRUCTED SERIES, HILDE VAN MAS & FJBAUR WORK WITH UNCONVENTIONAL SHAPES, MATERIALS AND IN A MERGING AREA OF ART, FASHION AND PLASTIC. THIS LEADS TO THE SYNTHESIS OF UNUSUAL MATERIALS. PACKAGING PLASTIC, STYROFOAM, LACQUER TEXT AND SECOND-HAND CLOTHING ARE STAGED FOR THE POPART FAKE FASHION.

THE VIEWER SHOULD BE DECEIVED. FAKE FASHION, WHICH AT FIRST GLANCE LOOKS LIKE WEARABLE CLOTHING, WAS CREATED ENTIRELY FROM DISPOSABLE ITEMS. THE STAGING, IMPLEMENTED IN PHOTOGRAPHY, SHOWS GRACEFUL, HIGH QUALITY STAGED DREAM CREATURES AS A COUNTERPOINT TO THE RAPID CONSUMPTION OF AN EVER-GROWING THROWAWAY SOCIETY. THE ARTWORK CALLS FOR A RETURN TO VALUE AND SUSTAINABILITY. A DIFFICULT BUT NECESSARY PATH IN THE SENSE OF THE COMING GENERATIONS. BEAUTIFUL THINGS CAN ALSO ARISE FROM DISCARDED ITEMS.
