Kihako Narisawa, Layer(s)
Inspired by the visual strategies in Oliviero Toscani's campaigns for the fashion label Benetton, Narisawa's Layer(s) asks how cultural codes shape our understanding of diversity.
- What strategies do people use to express or conceal themselves?
- By what means is identity staged, perceived, and performed?
Referring to the concept of "Reclaiming the Self," which her Forecast mentor Hussein Chalayan also explores, Narisawa investigates how projection, etiquette, and cultural expectations construct meaning around the body in performances.
