Affective Energy
Affective Energy is a project that aims to rethink the fashion image whilst also celebrating the model and their performance on the photoshoot.Applying the theories of affective labour and somaesthetics, the visuals represent the model’s embodiment of garments, the affective energy they absorb and produce, and their heightened awareness to body sensory perception. The model must be in tune with the continually evolving collective moods of all the authors in the room, interpret those affects below conscious level, and use their body to project affect, to cause affect in the fashion viewer. Performing solo, as author, subject, and viewer, I consider the visuals to be ‘painting’ with light, fabric, and colour.
