Andrea Zittel’s Uniforms projects: lines of force and resistance in the fashion dispositive
Abstract
Understanding fashion as one of the dispositives that produce lifestyles in the contemporary context, this article presents the Uniforms projects of the American artist Andrea Zittel, taken as reference to problematize the dominant patterns of dressing, ephemerality and consumerism, herein considered lines of force tied to the fashion dispositive. Initially, a brief trajectory of clothing in art is presented. Next, a panorama on Zittel followed by the Uniforms projects, punctuating the path of the artist in these propositions. From the thoughts of the philosophers Gilles Lipovetsky and Lars Svendsen, a theoretical vision is presented on the lines of force of the fashion dispositive, to observe fashion discourses carried out in printed and digital media, which point out its action in the contemporary world. The creations of the artist Andrea Zittel are considered lines of resistance to the hegemonic effect produced by the fashion dispositive, contradicting some rules and challenging it, by proposing other ways to deal with dressing that could suggest different perspectives of living.
