A repertoire of clothing archetypes: objects treated as persistences memory, assembled together as beautiful leftovers to create unsettling hybrids. Stop, cut, rewind, paste. Bisected coats. Antithetical frocks. Juxtaposed jackets. Fragmented outerwear. Shrunken sweaters and shirts. Dilated trousers. Right and left don't match. Front and back even less, not to mention top and bottom.

Everything is too wide, or too narrow, or too long. Time has left its evident and palpable mark on everything: abrasions; cuts; fading; missing parts. Hypnotically patterned or monochromatic uniforms land underneath everything. Distorted sneakers and boots complete. Flashbacks and fast forwards of styles and movements are united in a choral flow of gestures by the choreography of Michele Rizzo.
