Paper, plastic, found clothing and fabric were torn apart and “reorganized” into dresses that become explosions of sound, light and texture. The photographs documenting  the costumes call to mind turn-of-the-century erotic postcards, film and snapshots, while the costumes’ neutral colors, dense shapes and tightly arranged details mimic the agitating grain of a playing film reel. The show will feature audio recordings, black and white large format  photography, and super 8 projections.
