The Materials and Objects show artists from all over the world using different materials to create. Nowadays, artists try to find a language between materials and art. For example, Kengo Kuma’s design language is the participation of materials1.
The artist attempts to deconstruct and reconstruct the clothes. The reworked clothes are almost transformed into sculptures. In some ways, the material is used to carry memories. These are portraits, while the dresses also have the stories of the people who once wore them.
The designer has taken the structure of the ‘chair’ and reconstructed it into a goat, describing the final piece as ‘looking like a science fiction weapon.’ It is also a tribute to the animal species indigenous to Europe.
