Label Meike
I wanted to play with the idea of the shirt not just being an inanimate object, but having a life and will of its own.
I sew the label on the outside, so that everyone can see it, it will stick out of anything and it will always have it's wearers back.
I found that making short moving clips was more effective for the 'aliveness' of the shirt than a picture, so I decided to also make short videos, with a still.
