Designers in Residence 2022 at EMMA Pforzheim 1. Welmoed Bosch/ 2-4 Liina Lember/ 5-6 Nga Ching Ko
The Designers in Residence 2022 exhibition opened earlier this month at EMMA – Kreativzentrum Pforzheim where the participants in the three month programme showcased the projects they completed during the scholarship.
The results of their work deal with issues ranging from light pollution to developing new cutting techniques and dealing with compliments in another culture.
ARTS THREAD member Welmoed Bosch, who studied fashion at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, presented the Suiting The Body project, which proposes a new way of tailoring. „The vast majority of our contemporary western clothing is based on predefined patterns which are basically abstractions of our bodies. When we dress our bodies we don´t actually refer to physical bodies, we refer to these inorganic abstracted shapes“, writes Bosch. For the project, Bosch uses casts of the human body, rather than garment patterns to create suits that reflect real human anatomy.
