CAROL CHRISTIAN POELL " = SELFSAME "平成２１年８月１日〜Lift eatge, Lift ecru
SALFSAME（同一の）と称されたキャロル・クリスチャン・ポエルの仕事はミラノの郊外にある古い精肉の解体場にて行われた。規則正しく整列し移動可能なメタルストラクチャーにハンギングされた作品達はその無機質な空間に有機質を主張する。ドリップストーリーから展開されるシューズ、レザージャケット、靴、鞄等はその底辺からラバーが滴り落ちるかの様に重力の法則に従う。SELFEDGEのアイテムはその特性を最大限主張しガーメント上に、その意味と目的を明確に証明する。又それらの素材は動物本来の感触を感じさせる生のウールを使用し、スパイラルのパターンから生み出された品々は人間本来の身体を保護し包み込む様に作られた。全てが究極まで研究、実験を積み重ねて生み出された作品はキャロル・クリスチャン・ポエルの仕事がその意向と質において同一になった事を疑いなく証明するものでる。
The latest collection by CAROL CHRISTIAN POELL is entitled "SELFSAME" and was presented in a derilict slaughterhouse on the out-skirts of Milano.
The pieces were organized and hung on a movable metal structure to contrast these organic elements with the giant cold inorganic space.
Various different "Stories" can be found within this one large collection :
Shoes . leather jackets and bags were all shown as part of a "Drip Story" : all the items had rubber from the bottom dripping upwards , like liquid opposing the laws of gravity.
A collection of "SELF EDGE" items truly show the real meaning of this special technique to the optimum degree and take it to its highest level on each garment. In addition , the material for these items are made of raw wool in order to best capture the original feeling and essence of the animals from which it came and embody it in each individual garment.
In addition , various "Spiral patterned items" are part of another separate "story" of garments which have been created to wrap around the human body and offer protection when they are worn.
When examined closely several times it can be seen that every detail of each of the numerous items in the collection has been researched and accomplished to the very highest standard and quality and that the work of CAROL CHRISTIAN POELL is truly as close to perfection as we have yet seen.
