Starting to work on some ideas for the UNIT 1 project proposal - the task is to find a sense of place / personal idenity I am thinking about how to link this to my personal outfit. There is only one way - I have to think about how this is expressed through clothing - transcultural or intercultural, clothing as a way of defining identity, standing out / blending in. * A new word I really liked this week is REIFICATION *Making the abstract visible* **** Some refs that I have been thinking about which arfe very relevant for my ideas of 'otherness' * row 1 - Yayoi Kusama, Walking Piece, 1966 - standing out row 2 - photographer: Jason Evans, stylist: Simon Foxton, Strictly, i-D magazine, 1991 - blending in Yayoi Kusama piece - relates to the idea of preserving one's identity, or at least trying to - feeling lost in the dominant culture? Simon Foxton/ Jason Evans images - relate to the idea of transculturality & assimilation, thoughts on race/colonialism / New Britishness / establishment vs immigration
