The master thesis Where the garment meets the sculpture is a project that explores
the relationship between voluminous clothing, body movement and kinetic sculpture. It
has been conceived with an intermedia approach, as the project combines fashion
design, costume design, video, sculpture and sound design. The project explores the
use of unconventional materials in clothing design and opens the duscussion on
personal space and communication. With an experimental approach, I have tested new
possibilities and approaches in conceptual clothing design, which questions its function
and form. The line, as the main building element of texture and surface, or textile
space, is materialized in the sculptural clothing with the use of elastic, which explores
the limits of wearable and focuses on a new way of shaping the surface with this
material. In its number and density, the elastic line around the body creates the space
that creates an invisible personal bubble and thus draws attention to its necessity.
The master thesis is placed in the context of modern avant-garde fashion design, as I
experiment to create a new way of wearing and the purpose of clothes. It transcends
mere functionality and enters the field of abstraction. In addition to sculptural clothing,
the aim of the master thesis is also to show in a video, the context and an additional
dimension of clothing. The video is part of an installation showing the viewer the
movement of static sculptural clothing. In the conclusion, the entire project shows an
exhibition in the gallery of the Layer's House in Kranj and includes the installation of
two sculptures dressed in sculptural clothing and a projection of two art videos.
