Grieving womanhood. Hidden anger. Collective rememberance.
Collective Womb deals with female figures from Swiss legends and the patriarchal images that they continue to embody up to the present day. Using costume design and film, the project creates a feminist antithesis to these tales. Repressed voices, monstrously rendered female figures and forgotten stories are newly interpreted in textile. The outfits are adapted using pieces from folk costumes, positioning Swiss folk traditions in a new context and celebrating their beauty.
