Gabi Shillig. Raum(Zeit)Kleider project.
Collaboration of the dancer Noemí Viana.
Raum(Zeit)Kleider is a multi-faceted project and the further development of an ongoing investigation in geometrical organization and textile materiality, mapping social relations of and in space. The aim was to develop a spatial system that is open to changes and that can adapt to different functions and situations through the participation of its user. The garment itself becomes an interface between its users and the (built) environment, and participation becomes an important active instrument in controlling (public) space. The project merges insights from architecture, fashion design and body performance. The development and outcome of these hybrid, geometrical structures will occupy both the digital and the tactile, material realms, although the result is clearly a tactile structure that becomes a vehicle for a bodily experience, intended to be handled, worn, felt and played with. Individuals are required to participate, eliminating both the role of the spectator and that of the author – a passive spectator becomes an active participant.
