There’s a fashion show at Wiederhoeft Castle ...
“Fashion Show” explores archetypal, almost stereotypical ideas of a fashion show. It’s like a fashion-show-within-a-movie, a body of work that is consistent in its inconsistencies, drawing through lines with attitude, gestures, and unabashed melodrama.
The collection exists as a kind of memento mori - with classically beautiful elements drawn into question alongside motifs of aggression. Surrealist conversations arise at the intersection of poodles, angels, demons, bondage, and Madame Bovary... “Fashion Show” exists as a multimedia collage, rather than a composed painting. The looks are characters within the same world, but they do not necessarily inform or regard each other.
