Detta verk bygger på begreppet förutfattad mening och använder performativ konst för att väcka medvetenhet om inre värde och betydelse genom en förändring av klädsel och dess anmärkningsvärda förmåga att förvränga bilden av en person, vilket utmanar den initiala förutfattade meningen om personen. Denna idé avbildas genom en porträttuppsättning av flera mogna kvinnor. Kvinnorna visas i sina hem, utsatta för en delvis improviserad performativ drapering där berättelsen skiftar på grund av deras förändrade kläder, accessoarer, hår och smink. Detta verk syftar till att skapa konstnärliga kvällsklädsplagg genom akten av performance. Det är avsett att vara en hyllning till mogna kvinnor och är tänkt att inspirera till användning av performance som ett sätt att generera designidéer. / This work builds on the notion of preconception using performative art to evoke awareness of inner worth and value through a change of dress and its notable ability to distort the image of a person, challenging the initial preconception of the person. This idea is depicted through a portrait staging of several mature women. The women are displayed in their homes, exposed to a partially improvised performative draping where the narrative shifts due to their change of clothing, accessories, hair, and makeup. This work aims to create artistic pieces of evening wear through the act of performance. It is intended to be a celebration of mature women and is meant to inspire the use of performance as a way to generate design ideas.
