Nineteen solo presentations outline the young international photography scene that explores the fundamental relationship between bodies and clothes, the dialectics between the form of the body and its appearance in the second show of the Kunsthalle Wien’s autumn program focusing on photography and fashion. Borders to other disciplines are crossed in both daring and reckless experiments. In the context of the exhibition, clothes and other products of the fashion industry only figure as fragments of a narrative mise-en-scène thematizing the dreams concerned with a changing aesthetic of the body and its ideals. The media strategies employed are manifold and span from staged photographic images, projections, and performances to body sculptures, video and film works.
