ARTE POVERA






The skirt on me is a 100 times reused material. I was thinking how to make from that a desirable product so I thought about the artistic movement arte povera – “poor art”. I consider it as a forerunner of eco fashion and recycling.


Walking around the gallery of Pistoletto’s works at Cittadellarte, the artist points out his Venus of the Rags, 1967, a kitsch, glittering statue of a goddess enveloped by a dishevelled bundle of cloths. “It is the most representative work of arte povera as it brings together the beauty of the past and the disaster of the present,” says Pistoletto, who elaborates on the multiple messages inherent in the piece, alluding to the need to “follow nature, because nature is able to recycle everything. The work presents a practical solution for the future”.

    od zadnje tri kombinacije, koje su mi svaka za sebe posebne i predivne,
    definitivno izdvajam ovu posljednju.
    prekrasan materijal drapirane suknje koja jako fino pada, u kontrastu sa
    strozim gornjim dijelom koji formiraju dva sakoa, a koji je, ipak, barem
    malo, ublazen diskretnim prugicama, slojevima i 'mekanim' salovima.

    ambijent je cudesan. baca na reminiscenciju na 'sobu' iz stalkera ;)
    i strasno me zanima cemu su sluzili ovi utori/zlijebovi u podu kuce,
    pretpostavljam da se mozda radi o nekom industrijskom prostoru?

      radi se o velikom napustenom vojnom kompleksu koji ostavlja dojam postapokalipse. zbog toga nekako i mene u cjelini to podrucje "vraca" u Zonu.
      prostor na fotografijama je sluzio kao stala (konjusnica) i ti kanali kao odvod za izmet i urin.
      kada fotografiramo u takvim rusevinama u kojima su ostanci svega i svacega, ja se obavezno sjetim dogadaja oko snimanja stalkera (trovanje filmske ekipe zbog blizine kemijske tvornice) i odmah pozelim tri cjepiva protiv tetanusa.
