Workshop Residencia de Artistas Frank Meester and Annelis Vershelst | 29 de noviembre 2022

País de origen: Países Bajos
Fecha de residencia: del 14 de noviembre al 14 de diciembre de 2022.
Proyecto: Both night dreams and dreams in which you project yourself into the future have to do with the person you want to be. That is where our researches come together. In our joint project we will interview people on La Palma about their ideas on gender both now and also what their desires, hopes and dreams for the future concerning identity are. To make this visual, we want to take clothing as a starting point. You can show who you are in many ways, but probably your clothes are among the most powerful. We will take portraits of men and women (preferably ones that know each other already), first in their normal clothes, and then ask them to swap clothes, thereafter we take the same photographs with them wearing each others clothes. We want to know if they feel different, and if so in what sense. Would they go to the supermarket in these clothes? What makes clothing male or female? How much of your identity is linked to the clothing you are wearing?

For a presentation we will print both photographs next to each other and write quotes from the interview with the portrayed people over/next to the photo’s and use this as a graphic element.
