Can you say more about the relation of bodily self-awareness to bodily limitations?Originally posted by BECOMING-INTENSE View Post
I think I would say yes, but I would replace your limitation with limit, as limit implies an edge or boundary, rather than just constraint. It's less forceful and more spatial. no doubt i'm contradicting dolce and gabbana somehow, but that's what I see here.
...I mean the ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art whose other half is the eternal and the immutable.Comment

and movements such as tiredness, sleep, and illness, so i don't
see them as contradicting. Its an awareness that enhances
rather than diminishes the possibilities of life, for it awakens a sensitivity
to intensities. it affects us by showing us ourselves, by incarnating our
deepest presuppositions. You're so right that Chalayan is very much concerned
with spatial limits, there's a certain "geology" which is very evident when
looking through his body of work. Just look at the last dress I posted, it's
like tectonic plates that lies under the crust, or when he buried his work in
the ground. Maybe also why I insist on talking about "landscapes",
in the top post, when referring to the Facial additions.
I found this quote. It feels, to me, connected to Chalayan's work ...
Landscapes sees. ... The percept is the landscape before man,
in the absence of man
Or an opening of thoughts unto the body and landscape, so as to
give a voice to the body before all words.Last edited by BECOMING-INTENSE; 02-26-2009, 03:21 PM.Are you afraid of women, Doctor?

But now you got included, and I like the sentence in there,
so I'm not changing it.

Ahhh I remember seeing that white, moveable part, transformer-esque dress at the Met exhibit on fashion and super-heroes, very cool exhibit and even cooler clothing on display... it also for some reason makes me think of a Murakami sculpture... don't know whyComment
