Metamorphose or just turn out...
Trend setting and the spirit of the time are key words which belong to the vocabulary from today. Everybody has heard of it, follows it more or less and everyone defines it individually. But where does it come from though, who is setting a trend, how does it develop and how does it influence our spirit of the time – or is that its source?
Following this aspect I started my sixth semester without knowing where it took me. As a result of being aware of different levels of a project development and using the knowledge I gained by research, I created an illustrated book. This kind of an illustrated book follows a popular trend researcher - Li Edelkoort – and is divided into four leoporellos containing a summary of pictures. Li Edelkoorts work is known for her stories which reflect the actual trend in a special sensual way. Inspired by her work my desire grew to put my work in a similar visual frame.
Therefore it does not show all the collected material from exhibitions, magazines, reports or trend setting books 2010, but it is a contemporary witness in pictures. So I did focus especially on maybe trends or made a statement about their developements and social use; what our wishes and desires are and where they could lead us to. This work can be seen as a documentary from its research process until the visual result.
