AW0506 Reality Studio #1
Beat author and icon, William S. Burroughs preferred to speak of a Reality Studio rather than of Reality.
A place where the movie of Reality is played in endless loops and where Artists are given the opportunity
to dive in and cut away, giving the movie a new message. Those who find this idea this too philisophical
should simply have a look at the clothing of Berlin based designer Svenja Specht. Inspired by Bourroughs,
she transfers his approach into fashion design. In her clothing, she cuts up fragments of memories,
mixes up impressions and adds experiences. The result is a demanding new combination that is left up
to the person who wears the fashion to define it. Her dresses, all-in-ones, hoodies, skirts, pants and
jackets move between street and avant garde and are created from silk, jersey and cotton. Her journeys
and job placements in Paris and Beijing have inspired Svenja's ideas and taught her to step into new
territory and to jump fearlessly into unknown waters.
