'HAUTE ORDURE, AUTRE COUTURE' EXHIBITION: THE DETOURNEMENT OF MATERIALS
Daniele BOSSI creates simultaneously artistic and ecological objects using recycled materials. Thus, plastic bottles, spoons and cups, metallic cans, capsules and tops… all contribute to produce a highly influential collection: “Haute Couture, Autre Couture”. Daniele Bossi has always had a passion for researching and experimenting with non-textile materials, particularly recyclable matters: waste. For Daniele, the détournement of waste represents a true challenge and a constant source of inspiration. The “Haute Couture, Autre Ordure” collection – “Sculpture Dresses” created from recycled waste (PET bottles, other bottles, cans, capsules, corks, drinks cartons, etc…) – results from this creative, contemporary and novel approach. The veiled reference to Haute Couture aims to vehicle the artistic process of détournement in which materials are used in a diametrically different way from which they were intended and where the “lowly, repulsive” waste becomes once again, through the means of fine arts, something that is “High and Attractive” and that must be “Shown and Showcased”. To be discovered at the Brussels Innova Fair!
