Looking at an exhibition of one hundred tailor made suits, each of them original in design but made of the material of mass production itself, at first glance the signs of the commercial art of three continents merge into an undistinguishable pattern of global uniformity. Is that it? The human body reified into a multinational mass product, neatly packaged in the all time favorite classical suit and stretched on
wires across the room, evoking some kind of modernist productionline-nightmare. Fully guaranteed, fat free and ready to go. Or is it a celebration of the individual, the unique product from the hands of a skilled craftsman and the ultimate decadence of an haute couture-item that will only last you one party?
