From body architecture to the motion of architecture

Body-Architecture-Motion-Space

Recently Lucy McRae supported Swedish singer Robyn in her video clip "Indestructible" through her pumping/pulsing water dress. In it, the body is the platform and notion that Lucy explores with numerous low tech devices in order to creates a living and artistic dress/machine that reacts upon Robyn's sensual and insinuating lyrics.

Lucy McRae is proposing already for sometime the body as a interface for living and evolving materials. Maybe we can state a new death of fashion, after Harald Gruendl book. Why? Because Lucy is designing and constructing on the body with inert materials that in combination with the body physiognomy and physiology, meaning motion, but also breathing and sweeting are a new bodyfashion statement. One cannot happen without the other and vice-versa.
