For this project, Fiorella and me tried to find a connexion between a vintage camera and an embroidered sock withing the fashion discourse.
The camera is a similar model to the one that belonged to Vivian Mier – full time nanny and secret photographer on her spare time. We thought about how nannies, grandmums or anyone taking care of kids, would sew their names on their clothes so they wouldn’t get them lost.
We started looking into the practise of embroidery, how it’s also been considered an activity for women, how it can be used to add identity to pieces of fabric and clothes and how other artists use the tecnique in their work.
The video piece we presented to our peers was just the first draft of the idea. The images below are the references we have for the final video that hasn’t been filmed yet but hopefully will in the next few weeks.
