Revision as of 16:43, 7 June 2018

Digital Craft started with an afternoon in Boijmans Van Beuningen ment to choose one of the artefacts out of the collection of the museum to make a “copy” and a transformation of it. I chose plural works aged in the dutch golden age (1600-1699) which have in common that they are made to show the expensive clothes and properties of the people shown on it and that is mainly about status...

...That’s why I see them as a golden age kind of instagram, but I also see a parallel in our contemporary society were we also add value to certain kinds of fashion and clothing. The difference with the golden age is that the status there was added to the clothing because of it’s the expensive textile or it’s origine (the satin in Abraham del Court en zijn echtgenote Maria de Kaersgieter and the Polish costume in Otto van der Waeyen in Pools kostuum for example), but nowadays we lost the value of clothes trough it’s material value or it’s origine. However, we still feel the need to show our status and properties to the rest of the world and it interests me that we do that by buying brands with which we identify ourselves. We call them often “designer brands” and we pay a lot of money for them. That’s why they show a certain status to the rest of the world. My copy is a copy of the painting of Hendrick Goltzius called: ‘De Haarlemse schelpenverzamelaar Jan Govaertsen Van Der Aart’ which I turned into a sneaker collector instead of a shell collector.

So I wanted to be critical about contemporary fashion and wanted to ask questions about identity. I have used the fenomenon of wearing clothes, for example a T-shirt with just a very tiny logo on the chest part of it. I have plot-printed(first time) my own logo on a shirt just like the shirt of well known fashion brands and made a picture of it in which I refer to the golden age status portraits by the light and composition on the picture. I wear my own status on a golden age wise you could say.
