Metamorphic Identities: about Symbiotic Dresses and Seamstress Bacteria
Keywords:
Textile, dress, identity, biological, bacteria
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to review how dress has been operating, through traditional narratives, as a coordinating element of our human being identity as a species. Going through some systemic science concepts, a new look over the conventional intersections between dress and body will be taken, based on the analysis of three artistic projects. These proposals modulate new approaches to the concept of the body from a particular point of view which links textile and bacteria. Embodying this identity and from this interdisciplinary framework, we will try to articulate some non anthropocentric deliberation between the sartorial and the biological fields.Downloads
