giorgos chloros

This suitcase was created during “dig where you stand” workshop with Lars Brunström while trying to use, or maybe better, recycle materials that were lying around us. We focused on the mechanical part in this workshop and we ended up using the air flow in this particular way. A fan, connected with a battery and a switch that is turned on when the suitcase is open is the basic mechanism of the suitcase. Inside, clothes are sewed together and attached on the suitcase, so when the suitcase is open the clothes are float out of it. This was a collaboration with anastasia melekou. Our plan, is to develop further this idea and make a series of them with textile sculptures and sound. We are really interested in the mobility of the suitcase and its really strong meaning as an object.
