Label Ganda

This piece of clothing is handmade. It’s my grandma’s. I didn’t get the chance to exchange clothes in the class.
Its a item we wear on our traditional kurdish clothing. The label describes the item first as a nice warm and comfy thing, later on it becomes clear that it is a very selfish thing and it wants to keep you from everything around you. It slowly takes over you. But it’s already to late. But still its a place where you can hide away.
Since it’s handmade I did not want it to look like a mass production when i first put the label on it it really killed the handmade part. So I made a small pocket inside of it where the label can be found . I hoped the label  could become more personal this way.

  Mask 1. The first mask, the one we talked most about, the curtain-like thing, is still at school. I have not had the chance to make more elaborate photos with it yet. I n short, I wanted a waving surface in front of the face, in the shape of the line that goes from one ear, over the nose, to the other ear.      Mask 2. For this mask I asked people to write down what they were confident about in themselves. I used these ‘confidences’   in a short movie, creating (or un-creating) a mask. I came up with this because I liked the idea of the ego as a sort of mask and asked myself what would be left when we are stripped of our ego. Because our positive self-image - the things we are confident about - is closely related to our ego, I thought this would be a less abstract representation of it. As more        and more of the stickers are ripped off, more of the ego dissolves and more of the real person is revealed. If t...

carelabel 2 Benaiah

the big P: for this label, I carefully read the instructions and documented the garment as it is supposed to be washed, strictly other purple clothing, in the washing machine, during the wash, left it to dry & eventually wearing it(not such a good foto). I took all the pictures with the flash, after doing some testshots, this is how the colour came out best, and made the care label readable! my goal with the pictures was to visualise the written instructions by only putting purple laundry with each other.   PHOTO EDIT  I liked this picture, because of the inside of the machine, and the clothes laying there with the care label explaining what's going on WASHING WASHING WASHING WASHING finished! dry the purple clothing. . dry and clean in the clothing closet!
