Boudicca: Isolated moments from a cycle



I absolutely adore getting conceptual! Reveling in a concept's meanings and connotations makes me feel oh-so-very-artsy-and-wise. Thus, how could I deny us all the pleasure of discussing Beit Ha'Ir's latest exposition:

"Isolated Moments From a Cycle" by BOUDICCA (Brian Kirkby & Zowie Broach)

The exhibition itself is an isolated moment in the designer's cycle of creation: one idea led to another, and in the process, the collection was born; but a moment later, another idea would rise, an alteration to the previous one, perhaps, and the cycle would continue. 

The display is an isolated moment is the cycle of Beit Ha'Ir's "Year Of Fashion": Many exhibits were shown there before, and many more would be shown in the future.

The act of going to the exhibition at Beit Ha'ir is an isolated moment is the urban life at Tel Aviv: Situated at the Bialik Square [which is also round, by the way], Beit Ha'ir witnesses numerous passersby. One stops, goes in and looks around and then returns to the routine.

And finally, the designs shown, are isolated moments in a design cycle the the designers utilized for this exhibition: Brian Kirkby and Zowie Broach created digital fundamental sketches, and then continues designing, sketching, and photographing until they've reached the finished products - only the clothes are not actually finished. They can be developed further, using the same process.

The photos I took at the opening event are an isolated moment is the cycle of my camera's memory card's life ... that's enough? Alright, I'll stop.

The Brazilian shoe designer, Andreia Chaves, also brought her works to that exhibition. My friend, Karina, took some photos of them for you:

I left the openning event with a lot of "wow" moments to remember, but there are always favorites:

Favorite #1 [the order is arbitrary]: Delicate Details

The dresses were beautifully designed and had such delicate, fregile-looking detiles.

Favorite #2 [the order remains arbitrary]: Balerina Art

This circle was drawn by a belarina dancing on the paper. It left me breathless! [only for a while though; nothing personal - I just don't have insurance]
