CANDY CANES

Christa van der Meer playfully investigates different relationships we could have with what we wear, creating performance, sculptures and objects.

“In many ways, couture and fast fashion have lost their connection to the practical world. People own more clothes than they can wear. I don’t handle this lightly, but want to reflect on this in an optimistic manner. By imagining, taking out context and magnifying ‘clothing’ and ‘show’ I question the role of clothing, it’s status and the show in our current society.”

This work was previously on show at Bureau Europa during Fashionclash Festival 2019.
