concept

Designer Momoka Sato focused on Sveta Gora, in Nova Gorica: a monastery at the top of a holy mountain once famous as a pilgrimage route and battlefield. In addition to that, she looked at Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami’s idea of the shadow, which he described as an alternative version of the world moving forward, different from the timeline we are currently living in. To know both is to know the truth. From the concept that by knowing the past and the present we can build an ideal future, Momoka created an historical map of Gorizia in the form of a monastic uniform for its inhabitants. The image on the garment is of a monastery at the top of a mountain, held up like a sundial. The idea is that when the sun rises directly overhead, a borderless map of Gorizia and Nova Gorica projects racing shadows on the ground.
