‘Evolution’ by Jantaminiau
A vision of couture in a decidedly 21st-century mindset, Jantaminiau’s kaleidoscope contribution to Future Tense is certainly bewitching. Focussing on his S/S 2008 haute couture collection, over 500 photographs were edited and looped into this mesmerizing display demonstrating the increasingly complex ‘evolution’ of outfits. With a film redolent of the 19th century zoetrope yet resolutely modern in its fragmented viewpoints, Jantaminau mirrors his modernisation of the age-old crafts of couture.
Delightfully to watch the aesthetically harmonious concept and process taking the viewer all the way till the end to enjoy such a beautiful kaleidoscope of what it seems to be an ' uncomplicated' H.C. idea in the complex process of its ' evolution ' !
