ABS-TRACT OF THE 2ND SKIN FIBRIN (BODY SYNOPSIS)

Fotografije, prevedene v DRAŽ pletenine, izhajajo iz mojega projekta  Gr@y  Matter- language of shadows (Siv@ snov – jezik senc), v katerem raziskujem komunikacijske sposobnosti senc. V periodični tabeli elementov sem kemijske elemente nadomestila z emocijami, vizualiziranimi v podobah senc. Emocije so podobne sencam: vsi jih imamo, pa če jih priznamo ali ne. Celo ko se jih zavedamo, jih pogosto potiskamo v senco. Podobno velja za telesa. Toda namesto, da jih potiskamo v senco, jih raje abs-traktirajmo, zavijmo v sence na DRAŽ pleteninah – kot v kožo št.2, ki nas varuje, ščiti, brani, povezuje… Cik cak cik cak tik tik tak cik cik cik cak – sence in emocije, ujete v krivulje, vozle in zanke niti, prepletenih v linijo DRAŽ pletenin, ne odsevajo le zasukov in obratov akcij-reakcij marveč tudi plastenje in prepletanje, ki nas vpleta v fibrin kože št. 2. Abs-trakt fibrina kože št. 2 – transfer mojih fotografij senc v pletenine Draž realizira mojo idejo o ustvarjanju fibrina kože št. 2, predpogoju preživetja v sedanjem času globalnega 'daj dam'. Sence vizualizirajo absTRAKT telesa. Povezujejo nas, kot velja za DRAŽ pletenine, v vrtiljak labirinta prepletenh niti, povezujočih x in y, mlado in staro, vidno in nevidno, intro in ekstra vertirano naših osebnosti v nezaveden vzorec. Eksternalizirajo, ekstraktirajo iz naših traktov zasuke in obrate molekularnih in kemijskih reakcij, akumuliranih v transgeneracijsko plastenje in prepletanje in zapletanje – da bi razvezale vozle, ki blokirajo prehode v naših telesih in gibanje naših teles v zapleteni mreži časa in prostora. Smo kot niti, ujete v zanke emocij v vzorcu minulih in prihodnjih generacij… s trans-generacijskim traktom, ki se kot nevidna kača ovija okoli nas. Utišani v vidnem, ne poskušamo eksTRAKTirati tudi nevidno v vidno. Z Abs-TRAKTom fibrina kože št. 2 naj bi telo uglasilo svoj glas, skrit v temi našega prebavnega trakta.

ABS-TRACT OF THE 2ND SKIN FI BRIN (BODY SYNOPSIS)

Photographs translated into the Draž knittwear stem from my project Gr@y Matter- language of shadows, in which I investigate the communication abilities of shadows. In the periodical table of elements I replaced chemical elements with emotions, visualized by my images of shadows. Emotions are similar to shadows: we all have them whether we ackonwledge them or not. Even when we realize that we have them we too often put them in the shadow. The same can be said about our bodies. But instead of pushing them into shadows lets use the shadows on the Draž knittwear to protect, guard, shelter, defend… yes, yes, yes, the shadow connects us into a co-net! Zig zag zig zag tick tick tack zig zig zig zag – shadows and emotions, caught into curves, knots and loops of threads, interweaved into the Draž knitting line, echo not only the twists and turns of actions-reactions but also the layering and intertwining incorporating us into the 2nd skin fi brin. Abs-tract of the 2nd skin fi brin line – the transfer of my photographs of shadows into the Draž knittwear realizes my idea of a 2nd skin fi brin creation, prerequisite for survival in the current time of global 'give and take'. Shadows are the body abs-TRACT, visualized, connecting us - as do the Draž-Duo's garments - into a merry go round labyirinth of kneated threads, connecting x and y, young and old, seen and unseen, the intro and extra vert of our personalities into an unconscious pattern. They externalize, exstract from our (intestine) TRACT the twists and turns of molecular and chemical reactions accumulated in transgenerational layering and knotting. Their attempt: to unknot the knots that block the passages in our bodies and our bodies moving in the complex network where the axis of time is perpendicular with space. We are like threads, caught into loops of emotions in the pattern of past and future generations… The trans-generational tract moving through the body has been invisible for too long because the body has been muted for too long in the visible, not looking to exTRACT also the invisible into the visible.
