Imagined Landscapes and Spatial Stories: Finding Topography Within the Fabric b00 the GARMENT
Introducing the Garment as an object of our exploration, the jumpsuit as a restricting piece. Either allowing to perform certain activities or limiting in such.
b01 the CUT
Lead by the interest of individuals the garment separated. The borders were carefully chosen adjusting to the needs of the explorer.
b02 the PROP
The Prop as a device opens up opportunities to expose the Cut in the right way as well as understand the Garment in relation to the body. The rib cage similar structure substitutes parts of the body, allows the exploration of two opposite movements and the responses of the fabric.
b02 the Prop
A rib cage similar prop has been developed. The idea behind is led by the possibility of ribs coming together and/or opening up.
b03 the GRID
Containing a vertical as well as a horizontal part, the Grid gives the possibility to place the Prop. The Prop is fused within the horizontal piece, treating it as the 0-condition. Allowing the observer to explore the properties of the Garment, frozen as well as in motion, and finding new ways to perceive it.
b04 the SURVEY
b03 the GRID: placing oneself within the 0-condition
2015 Studio02 Tutor: Charlotte Erckrath, Frederik Petersen
After a series of physical representations, consisting only of drawings, the Survey deals with the interaction between the movement of the Prop, the motion of the folds, journey through space and the idea of keeping a continuous zero condition throughout the studies. The Cut and the Prop within the Grid alter the viewer’s perspective. They may no longer be seen as the individual parts, but as a landscape who’s topography is being interrupted through a machine.

b04W the SURVEY
Ill. 1 In depth illustration of the frontal part of the prop, the arm, as well as the on it positioned garment. Using a method of grid projection evolved enabling the construction of the folds on a bigger scale. Sections of the elevation of the folds are set in motion. Through simple cuts and overlay one can read the changes of the topography. Scale 1:1

Connection points - stabilizing the 0-condition
b03 the SURVEY
Ill. 2 In depth illustration of the rear part of the prop, the “active point” and the relationship between the garment borders and the prop structure and its materiality. A plan placed above the main elevation explores the density of the impact caused by the fabric onto the ribs. Focusing on the already mentioned “active point”, as this one is being teared apart through the external force. Sections through the fabric in front of the active point, demonstrating the relation between the garment and the “coming together” with the ribs. As the spectator moves, the relation of the borders changes. An overlap of those sections reveals the differences. Scale 1:1
