The fabric of each textile piece in the Installation Red, Black, Silver, and White is unique and specially designed and woven for each poncho. They are made of a so-called double face fabric, which means that the fabric is in fact two fabrics (with different materials and different designs) woven together into one. As a result, both sides of the ponchos can be worn on the outside. Each poncho is finished by handwork. The signs from the outside refer to “the languages of Goddesses”, about which the artist has made previous works (Experimental Archeology, 2007-2008).The ponchos were developed in collaboration with the fashion label Tiedeken in Berlin.
