Installation: general view of "garments"

A spoof of the fashion industry, the artist created a "design studio" with finished and unfinished garments on hangars and strewn across the floor of the exhibition space. Unconventional and even dangerous materials were used (bubble wrap, rusty nails, staples, rubber etc.) to construct the clothes and other artists modeled them for a series of photographs.
