7 types of ambiguity/vestuario en foto fija
7 types of ambiguity/vestuario en foto fija
Digital photographs of a collection. New York 2007
El trabajo de GGrippo enlaza moda, diseño y arquitectura. Construye
espacios para usar, y recrea ambientes para dar contexto y tiempo a la
ropa.
Esta serie de imagenes, basada en 7 representaciones de ambiguedad e
insipirada en las películas de Antonioni y las fotos de Cindy Sherman
intenta representar paisajes emocionales y su materialización.
Según Grippo, la idea: " crear un vestuario de 7 outfits (trajes) y
fotografiarlos en 7 fondos surreales, elaborados del paisaje
inconciente de la modelo y actriz Jen Jaffe, estos outfits estan
realizados en color crudo, a la manera de "toiles" de alta costura y a
la medida de la modelo. Fotografiar los trajes en 7 locaciones
predeterminadas que ilustren las emociones dara lugar a una
interpretacion ambigua de cada emocion".
Una ambiguedad es la similitud y la diferencia entre un sentimiento y
un pensamiento, el espacio entre un hecho descrito y las circumstancias
que lo rodean. En general es dificil identificar el uno sin el otro, ya
que una oracion o una situacion los incluye sin distinguirlos.
Los conceptos propuestos como ambiguedades son (en ingles por su valor
concreto): laugh, leave, lift, light, lost, love and lust (risa,
partida, ascencion, luz, perdida, amor y deseo). Son conceptos que nos
ofrecen dudas sobre su presentacion y su representacion.
My work is related to space, bridging fashion design and architecture.
I build spaces for people to wear, then I recreate environments to give the clothes a referential context and a time frame.
For this project I worked together with model/actress Jen Jaffe to
bring out her emotional landscapes and to create the garments she would wear in those situations: laugh, leave, lift, light, lost, love and lust,
This series, inspired by Antonioni's movies and Cindy Sherman's film stills aim to represent emotional landscapes and their materialization.
A model/actress stars in a fictional movie-frame where the clothes
complete the landscape becoming formal part of them.
