dress Dress embroidered by hand, colored embroidering thread, 2008. AIRSWAP C/O Manifesta7 the European Biennial of Contemporary Art, at the premises of Manifattura Tabacchi in Rovereto. Airswap asked me to collaborate to their project. They showed me a catalogue containing a selection of dresses. I picked a dress on which I would embroider. I chose a slightly retro one, with a flower pattern. I embroidered on the dress the map of the town of Rovereto. I then added the names of the main Italian towns, so it would be easier to locate it. The dress ideally became an upside down map of Italy. Upside down so that the people wearing it could find their own location. |
