Little Black Dress

  • Default

Little Black Dress is a room-sized study in self-expression, fashion, the body, the self and society. Women, as creatures of hope, seasonally reinvent themselves along the larger timeline of history. What women wear, how they fashion themselves, is a reflection of many perceived necessities, ranging from the need for life-sustaining protection to the dictates of a current trend. In turn, what women put on can be read as markers and documentation of particular moments in time, signifying both the personal and the political. Special thanks to Basil Abbott and Commpost Audio for collaborative work in sound composition and production.
