SHAREWEAR comprises of a pair of reconfigurable, electronic dresses that physically slot together to activate dramatic pools of light. Worn by identical twins as part of a performance, the dresses take influence from modernist and contemporary furniture design. These wearable sculptures integrate the very latest in cutting-edge technology alongside traditional pattern making and upholstery techniques.
SHAREWEAR garments provoke exchange within their own network as well as encourage audience members to unveil a series of potential narratives. They alter behaviours, by hiding or revealing hidden secrets. They link to divulge new landscapes. They peel apart to offer glimpses of hidden interiors. They join to release shards of light and cast long shadows.
Perfromances:
- 12 and 13 September, Wereld van Witte de With, Rotterdam
- 26 and 27 September, TodaysArt, The Hague
SHAREWEAR received funding from V2_ and the MultimediaN research network as well as fabric sponsorship from Gabriel.
