At this exhibition- a strong message was given. Reported on the BBC ‘Dissolving dress unveiled’, the producers of this piece Helen Story and Tony Ryan wanted to use this act to question the sustainability of the current fashion industry. Technology and science has been combined to create fibres and fabric that dissolve in water-leaving an underwater display.

The concept is truly inspiring and the remains is somewhat stronger in telling us the story of ones survival.
Linking to the ‘Wonderland’ concept, the 2 professors also documented their experiments on film. These films can be found on ShowStudio website and I have especially evoked strong feelings for series ‘Video # 2, work in progress.

Although the video has no direct links towards the final piece created, the display truly captured the life, movement and colour of the chemical reactions caused by dropping the treated fibres into water. Seeing this type of experiment has strengthened my desire to display and capture my work as a video. No one knows what will happen, and no one can tell the truth better than a video of the actual cause.
