WEDDING DRESS

“Wedding Dress” represents a paper dress with printed texts. The piece takes the paper material as a symbolic axis for a real-time performance that took place at a real wedding.

Wedding dresses are usually kept by brides all the life as a souvenir. However, this dress, from its materiality, camouflages the eternal concept and exalts expiration. Some of the possible interpretations are in relation with the relative on time; on relationships; on wishes; with paper as an ephemeral and conflicting element when used as clothing, in a garment that traditionally seeks to symbolize eternal feelings.

The printed texts are love messages written by email through a virtual relationship. The intimate word becomes public as an injurious act of exhibitionism.

A real situation is the origin of this artistic piece, treated from fictionality to question the facts and provoke a reflection about the ephemeral daily and about the truth-lie.
