FERAL NATION
Presentation at ME, London, 2015
Adornments for performance
A primal fog seeps over our collective learned habits, and shared memories
Our animal instinct, like a well-worn survival kit, guides us through this urban jungle with savage logic
Camouflage, in neoprene, parachute silk and plastic, is bombed with embellishments, to signify the triumph of the human spirit in the face of adversity
Evoking militaria and animal-inspired headgear representing our inner feral nature, are lined up in this battalion of looks, to show that we can tap into our deepest fears, and look fierce, without haranguing the embassy of common sense and tranquil co-existence
In essence, this is a fashion negotiation
A stylistic peace treaty
Let’s shake hands on it?
“Roger that”
