Artist turns the public transport seats in portable clothes and there is another twist
German artist Menja Stevenson was inspired by the fabric designs used by German transport companies and decided to turn them into works of art, combining unique clothes, a photograph and a little social experimentation. Here is what happened!
How many times did you take a ride in a bus without even noticeing that his seats were made? Buses and trains use fabric designs that are hinges and a little painful to look at, but they are supposed to withstand the two trends that change every month and whenever it will even have the coolest design to have the dull air in a year.Menja Stevenson is different from most people and look closely about the things that surround it. It was inspired by the fabric designs used by German transport companies and decided to turn them into works of art, combining unique clothing, a photograph and a little social experimentation.
Here is what happened!
Menja Stevenson started itBus ride Return project in 2006 inspired by the accident-resistant tissue she saw on buses. It was at that time that it started contacting transport companies to get the fabric that is generally not for sale. It's a limited edition!
When she finally got all the necessary equipment and created clothes, it was time to put it to test. She carefully placed inside buses exactly the same pattern as the seating fabric. Can you imagine what happened?
To the surprise of the artist, most people did not even make the connection between the fabric she wore and the one they were sitting!
Some of the passengers were curious to see his mixture with the seat, others took note and looked timidly, but most of them even noticed only what was happening. Have they thought it was just a coincidence? This tells a lot of modern society.
All people do not pay attention to details like Menja Stevenson, but she was quite surprised by the reaction or rather by the lack of such. She thinks it happened because we do not really notice everyday things, getting their footprints only on the subconscious level. That's why some people do not know even when they set them in the face!
Menja Stevenson wanted to highlight this "invisible fabric", turning it into one form of art. Thus, make the invisible considered as many people as possible. Sometimes you can attract people's attention only via a social experience. And that's exactly what she did!
The artist admitted that clothes made with these fabrics were a nightmare to wear. She swept like a crazy and wearing them as to wear knight armor. It was heavy and far from comfortable, but it was always worth every effort.
