... "Processing Fibres" uses performative processes to explore the relationship to oneself and to others, mediated by the body and the layers that surround it: Clothing, fabric, fashion, material in and on the body.

What we wear and how we wear it is never neutral, never without meaning. Normative codes, social hierarchies, gender and cultural imprints, personal experiences, injuries and preferences - everything flows into the choice of textile coverings and the act of dressing and undressing. Through the performative use of textiles and other media, the exhibition evolves and changes over the course of the two days - Processing Fibres.
