HOW MANY FACETS CAN LOVE HAVE? AND WHAT EXACTLY IS HIDDEN BEHIND THAT HEAVY, CHARGED WORD? IS IT DESIRE? IS IT LUST? IS IT JOY, OR IS IT PAIN? THAT DRAMA OCCASIONALLY PLAYS ITS PART IS SOMETHING NO ONE CAN DENY. WITH THESE QUESTIONS, THIS PROJECT FOUND ITS STARTING POINT IN THE COSTUME DRAMA X, A THEATRE PERFORMANCE CREATED AND PERFORMED BY THE YOUNG ENSEMBLE GIOVANNI FRATELLI.

DURING THE DESIGN PROCESS AND THE MANY HOURS IN THE ATELIER, NOT ONLY DID THE CHARACTERS COME TO LIFE, BUT SO DID OUR LOVE FOR DRAMA AND THE REINTERPRETATION OF THE PAST.

​

EXPECT BILLOWING SKIRTS, TIGHT CORSETS, HIGH COLLARS, AND ABSURD CRINOLINES — THOUGH IN OUR VERSION, THEY ARE REBORN IN BRIGHT COLORS, KITSCHY BOWS, LACY DÉCOLLETÉS, AND BARE LEGS.

THIS IS WHAT WE PRESENT IN THIS PHOTO SERIES: PORTRAITS WITH PIERCING GAZES AND BLOOD-RED BLOUSES, CAPTURING A MOMENT OF THE UNRAVELING OF THE PAST — THE DRAMA, THE LUST, THE LONGING, AND THE LOVE.
