Title | Figures in the Night
Fashion Art Exhibition "Air From Korea "(2009, Brazil)
This work converts 2-dimensional layered images into a 3-dimensional fashioned body by superimposing transparent materials in various ways. The used main image is the 20C great surrealistic painter, Joan Miro’s ‘Figures in the Night.’ The digital textile printing of the image on organza shows the clear color contrast of black and red. In addition, each rectangular panel of the prints is layered with red and black organza fabrics in turn on the opposite sides. Consequently, the final outfit raises the painterly image of Miro’s Figures in the Night to a sculptural range by overlaps and superimpositions in regular and different directions.
Material: Polyester
Technique: Digital Textile Printing
