Jum Nakao – Paper Couture

This is Jum Nakao





Art, costumes, design and animations,Jum Nakao channels his output into various directions, but often uses fashion as common denominator. Even when can be considered as”oldies”, these marvellous paper coutur might be some of the most stunning artwork the Japanese-Brasilian artist came up with so far.
I can see the bird inside



                                                                                                                                                                      “A costura do invisivel”, which approximately could be transpated as “sewing the invisible” is a project, Jum Nakao created for the Paper-Fashion exhibiton at Moma with incredible love for details, he created those amazing paper dresses which were torn down by the models during a presentation on a runway.














So beautiful, It maked all by paper

No explanation needed for how the audience was shocked.  But the artist takes it easy:
“All of my works, for example the paper-made “A costura do invisivel” fashion line , have a playful relationship with the spectator. This lightness is necessary to get a distance from reality and a connection with the invisible, with people’s imagination, to let them see it from a different perspective – a less realistic one.

If it was really necessary to demolish the paper gowns to get the audiences participation – i doubt. But only, because my fainthearted mind is hardly able to comprehend how an artist is willing to spend weeks on create incredible artwork, just to let it go.
Why u do this!!!
But probably, it was just this very conventional thinking, that motivated Jum Nakao to end his show with this disturbing act of demolition.
Thankfully, he at least shot some great pictures to let me remind his stunning, temporary paper couture.
