The Poetics Of A Wall Reflection, 2012

All Projects

This catwalk was designed for the Swedish fashion designers of Odeur for their show on the Copenhagen Fashion Week 2012. It challenges the pure, perfectly controlled image of a fashion show by distorting the images and blending in the audiences through a straightforward, sometimes almost invisible geometrical object of straight planes and right angles that reflects a different view of reality when models pass by. The object is a simple banal wall that becomes its own antithesis as its appearance skews all simplicities from reality, a simple shape being looked at as a complex representation of the actual world.

Models walk passed by it and see their image being deformed, they moved around it, disappearing for a moment while the audience looks at itself instead of the model. The minimalist sharp cut perfection of the designers of Odeur is put into contrast with the contort reflection of a yet minimalist precise object.
