On Thursday, 25th November, Song Song proudly invites you to the opening of Paradise Pleasure Productions, an exhibition of art works by Belgian Fashion designer Walter van Beirendonck. From van Beirendonck:
Walter Van Beirendonck @ SONG
Is it an allusion to ‘play ghosts under the bed-sheets’ when I was a child? Is it an early reminiscence of seeing a dick through a glory hole? Probably, but not only that gave me the idea to realize this installation…
The installation is a loud cry for freedom. Freedom, we have to fight for more than ever before. It is a big ‘fuck you’ to all the religions, media, governments and people who are trying to influence or change the perception of the world. Censorship and limitation of expression has to be stopped. I ‘used’ and referred to different impressions of cultures and religions, to create an uncanny image, which should raise questions. The 3 figures are covered by big, hand-embroidered flags, with bright colours and patterns, which refer to my fashion-collections. The stories told on the flags refer to different subjects.
* “Take a W-Ride / War on Hate” - title of the latest winter collection 2011
inspired by Afghan-war carpets.
* “Ride the Bear” - a fairy-tale about me and the bears
* WONDE® summer collection 2010
* “Flags” - a patchwork of flags refers to the name of the collections and subjects
I reacted on during my career.
