Brigitte Stepputtis’ body of work is deeply rooted in fashion and for this exhibition she showcases Photo Documentation, 2014 that consists of a series of remnant images of models before/after dressing and making up. In her own words, fashion has to do with imaginary identities projected over someone else’s. The model’s body becomes a canvas but it is also the model’s ability to articulate such imaginary identities what creates the possibility to inscribe new narratives. Her first hands-on experience in the fashion world gives Brigitte the chance to develop this project that reflects on the intertwined relations between fashion and identity.

Die Traumdeutung, 2014 is a collaborative project between the artist and the London-based studio ScanLab. For this project 3D scanner technology was deployed resulting in a video piece accompanied by a series of mesmerizing and highly enigmatic photographs. 3D scanner is a revolutionary tool that explores new possibilities to think of spaces and provides new ways to digitally represent them. For this occasion a human component was also included resulting in sculptural-like monumental figures that reveal their own fragility by sometimes fading away. It is the daunting shadow cast by the figures, though, what controls these images increasing the odd feeling of timelessness.

Brigitte is Head of Couture at Vivienne Westwood in London. she has pursued her parallel personal interests in art. Working across the disciplines of design, photography and creative direction, her practice has often had a documentary aspect to it in addition to more traditional approaches to creative direction. Recently, her documentary – anthropological even- projects have seen her working in a method more akin to a film director in documenting phenomena that have grabbed her interest.
