FASHION-able

Loike Lahkajad, or Pattern
Dissectors, was a self_passage
project done together with Estonian
artist Sirja-Liisa Vahtra. It was a two
week open workshop and exhibition on
sartorial surgery and garment dissec-
tions at the Draakon Gallery, Tallinn,
in September 2004. Using nonviolent
reverse engineering, the project consisted
of public dissections of white second-
hand clothes, revealing their hidden
layers and technical construction. The
gently unstitched pieces were displayed
on the walls before being put back
together into new mutated forms which
were for sale at the gallery.
