concept
Inspired by the 25 videos Paula Knorr filmed herself to create a poetical narrative of a woman's thoughts, wishes and recognitions. These interpretations recreated the true feminine heartstrings, translating them to the viewer. Garment designs work on the interaction between the body and materials. Loose metallic scraps appear to be sliding down nude coloured dresses, frozen in motion and creating a contrast with the solidity of the body. Glossy fabric pieces are moulded to revive a woman’s shape, fixed in place on a structure of nude coloured Lycra. This is a contrast between full coverage and restrained nudity.
