Stabilnost
Capsule collection questioning stability in ruined reality
The «Stabil'nost'» (Stability) project is inspired by the situation I often observe in the city: there is a house, and it is slightly "gave way". It's crumbled, tilted, it lost its marketable appearance. But here is a wonderful decision - net! You print it with the same house, but better. No cramps, no traces of fading, the level of its decomposition is replaced by the projection of its bright future. There is even a well-spread internet demotivator "The stability has come unstuck".

Or the other way round: a house is only being built, there's only a framing, but the printed net presents us with visuals of how good it is going to be. It's wonderful how by the same simple gesture all situations are resolved - the one where something is destroyed, the one where something is built and the one that just imitates these processes.

So I thought that this solution can be also applicable to people: you take a hood, zip up and voila! You are again nice and beautiful and represent an imperishable, better version of yourself.
So this is how it works: in these costumes I am invincible, prefect, I am ever evolving and all-neutral to the reality. Because who can lodge a claim against something that is not there?
