Artist Gwen van den Eijnde of France creates these sculptural, Baroque-inspired costumes for his performance pieces by improvising with a variety of materials including vintage fabrics, paper cut-outs, wooden piano keys, Christmas garlands, toothpicks, table sets, and plastic bags. ”By using simple materials with a maximum of inventivity, I try to create sumptuous garments. The costumes then serve as mediums to incarnate and perform a gallery of imaginary characters. Artificial beings, androgynous creatures, that evoke a dreamlike world where the border between the human realm and the supernatural is blurred.” Gorgeous. (via de zeen)
