Idea for a SELF-PORTRAIT of a fashion designer
The project will be a series of photographs of myself dressed in a "disintegrating" garment.
It will be carried out by filming the process (action - photo session) of tearing and, accordingly, disintegration of the clothing on the body until absolute nakedness (the use of white is possible), i.e. until the necessary destruction or transformation of the clothing into another, in the specially selected case , white, wedding dress. In all probability, at the end of the session, a black author's garment will also be necessary. The used clothing is intended to participate as an artifact in the upcoming exhibition, as an object installed in a transparent box.
The photo session will take place in a special atmosphere with sound, lighting in a corresponding style with make-up, hair, accessories, decor, etc., without an audience except for the "documenting" photographer Aleksader Nishkov.
Through gradual, "surgical" cuts, splits, revelations and deformations in various states to the point of exposing the body, I hope in partnership with the photographer to achieve a complete dissection of my own personality, which should represent a real self-portrait in the case of series of photographs.
p.s.
The idea for this "Self-Portrait" is both a consequence and an opposition to the project "OUT OF MYSELF" from 2002, exploring the play with different roles and states or the processes of "going outside of oneself".
The "self-portrait" in this case aims to portray a real individuality.
The exhibition has a fixed date:
29 February – 16 March 2008
Czech Center, Sofia
MARIELA GEMISHEVA
November 2007
