The purpose of the project was to create an object out of paper, which is in some way linked to the body whether it is a piece of clothing, a fashion accessory, or just a new form which deforms the body so as to establish a new one.
We were supposed to find our inspiration in mythology, and transfer the philosophy of the mythical creature in to the current time.
I chose a demon derived from Australian mythology - Namorodo, an evil mythical creature in the form of a flying skeleton, which sleeps during the day, but at night he eats people - children and the ones that sleep. The thing that inspired me most was the demons looks. Namorodo has long hair, nails and sharp claws, the body is composed solely of bones and muscles, his presence is detectable as the wind howl.
In an object I created, we can see the elements of Namorodo, but I made sure that it also relates to current events around us and especificaly in fashion.
Actual ideal body is skinny, pale, we can't see a bit of fat on it if it wants to cross the door of a fashion industry.
The object is therefore a real answer or reflection on the illusion of what the media world, the food and fashion industry is trying to project.PAPER DRESS + GIFs: Petra Švajger
