The seventh collection “Robes/ Variation VII” of the Korean designer Saena Chun originates in her interest in traditional Korean clothing. It focuses on three elements which are characteristic for the traditional Korean dress hanbok: the material, the cut and the way of fabrication. Her designs are characterized by high quality materials, simple, but aesthetic cuts, transparence and elaborate craftsmanship.
The German photographer Torben Geeck made a photo series of Saenas ten robes will be shown during the exhibition. Also, a video will be displayed which depicts the production process and the movements of the robes through silhouettes (artistic performance: Peter Kisur (Honey-Suckle Company) and Chiaki Fujii/ camera: Alexander Georghiu/ cut: Peter Scholl/ sound: Jens Bogedain).
