The works were shown in the theatre foyer of kreartell at the occasion of the staging of "The Hypochondriac, or The Imaginary Invalid", a spectacle by Molière.
The moth dresses are inspired by Robert Musil’s text "tangle foot" – a fly-paper and parable of war and death. This war goes under the skin, under the shell – under the body dress. The patterns on the Vogue child dress remind of strategic drawings on battle plans. The paper dress made from parchment is a scene of death itself and, as a moth cloth, a symbol of resurrection as well.
