SymbioticA Friday Seminar : Dressing for death: Garments for the grave Other events...
Whilst fashion and ritual are an integral part of our living existence, Pia Interlandi’s research investigates the role of fashion at the end of life and beyond. Observing ‘eco’ trends in both the apparel and funeral industries, transformational processes including decomposition, dissolving, and reincarnation will be explored in order to create a series of garments that explore the relationship between garment and [deceased] body.

Aiming to embody notions of ‘life cycles’ and the philosophy of ‘cradle to cradle’ design, the garments and textiles will be used in conjunction with performance and ritual, eventually to be used as proposed alternatives for internment.

Pia is SymbioticA’s latest resident. She is currently undertaking her Doctorate of Philosophy (Architecture and Design) at RMIT University, Melbourne.

All welcome.
Speaker(s) Pia Interlandi
Location SymbioticA Room 228, Level 2, School of Anatomy and Human Biology, The University of Western Australia.
