Emotional Garments

Integrated Media Installation

Emotional Garments is a five-channel video installation integrated with five handmade garment sculptures. Sadness Bloomers, Joy Hat, Fear Armor, Anger Gloves, and Pride Cloak (left to right). Five performers wore the respective garment and were filmed being filled with that emotion.

This piece was created to explore the idea of wearables giving us permission to not only fully FEEL that emotion, but to celebrate it.

Below are stills from the video content

The performers were directed to let the garment give them permission to feel.
