This three week collaborative project shifts and take advantage of things that go "wrong" in the process. The final work is a decisive arrival at an unanticipated result.

preservation VS attraction
chastity VS intimate moments (need help to put the belts)
object made for repelling VS fashion driven choices

Chastity belt
This collaborative project reviews and reinterprets in a modern and ironic way an object symbol of humiliation and chauvinism, transforming it into a reflection on the themes of chastity, sexual attraction, and fashion. The project shifts and takes advantage of things that go "wrong" in the process: the tension between preservation and attraction, the repelling nature of the object and the rules of fashion, and the juxtaposition between societies' myths. The final work is a decisive arrival at an unanticipated and unsolved result.
