![]() Clothing can be a membrane-like second skin but also an object that becomes independent of the body, one that develops almost architectural qualities. It is given a life of its own, in a similar but more elegant way to the grotesque growths and deformations of the outfits by Leigh Bowery, who, up until his early death in 1994 had undermined almost everything that was considered good taste in the fashion world. ![]() The Chinese-Canadian designer Ying Gao causes the surface of her clothes to move using pneumatic pistons and pumps, so that the silhouette of the clothing frees itself autonomously from the contours of the body. ![]() And the approach to new materials and technologies is becoming more and more inventive. Thus the Belgian fashion designer Martin Margiela designed clothes that were eaten away by microbes. It is the fashion designers who take on this task and meanwhile develop creations that one would expect in a conceptual exhibition rather than on the catwalk, some of which even incorporate organic processes. It is much more frequent that artists use found pieces of clothing rather than producing new ones and experimenting with materials as Sterbak does for example. Clothes are often presented as memorabilia or relics, independent of a body that wears them. Wagner also dedicates an extensive chapter to clothing, however the approach by the artists is less innovative here. Wagner’s research includes wide-ranging aspects such as colour as a material, the use of everyday finds, relic cults, solid or ephemeral materials, stone, metal, synthetic materials, fat, felt, blood, fire, air and light. Unusual materials have been used more and more frequently in art over the past decades.
