Abstract

Clothing occupies the immediate space between the body and our surroundings. It can be protective and comforting and through the manipulation of silhouette, clothing can augment and define the notion of the personal space of the wearer.

For the I:F Body + Space conference (thread; Representation and the body and space) I proposed to make an artifact (a dress) and use it to discuss notions of personal space and proxemics, employing Naum Gabo’s stereometric principle of implied volume; extending the dress beyond the body and making the personal space of the dress (and wearer) visible.
