A PAPER DRESS FOR VENICE

Creating a second skin: A paper dress for Venice

For my trip to Venice, I built a large paper dress as a second skin. I put it on in Venice and walked around the city. On the front of the dress I painted the face of the winged marcus lion. On the back, a rising sun. I covered my face completely with a cloth because of the Corona experience, on the back of my head I wore a golden lion mask. I could hardly see anything through the cloth and had to move slowly. After the performance I hung the dress on a clothesline in the street where I lived.
