This alluring concept of identity and clothes got me into making video. It is my project artefact that need constructive feedback to develop more and more.
This video installation demonstrates the idea of the act of gazing and connection between viewers’ perceptions and clothed bodies. It allows viewers to question the construction of our bodies which are fabricated by clothes. Since clothes create at least half the look of any person at any moment, our visual perceptions of the body shaped by the way we live through clothed body. We prepare our bodies for the public display and present ourselves in quite intentional ways. In this sense, bodies’ images form the basic understanding of selfhoods. Our identities are shaped both by our physical performances and how others perceive us in public arena. You look at others while you are being looked. Clothes are the visible body. Our identities are manifested through a visual language. They are a dialogue of society. They signify our identities in the eyes of others, and, at the same time, signify our perceptions of our identities.
In order to test this artefect, I'd like to get comment and feedback after you watch this video, this would help me improve and develop the concept further.
