Crafts in Dialogue /IASPIS invited Annette Meyer to exhibit at Malmö Konstmuseum. The opening day of the exhibition was, by coincidence, set on
the 200 years anniversary of the famous Danish fairytale writher H C Andersen.

To celebrate his birthday Annette Meyer shows one dress from Flora Danica
Dresses project. The dress is made in paper and is a genuine copy of a 1860 dress, referring to the same period where H.C Andersen himself created small dresses in chocolate paper.

The dress is displayed on a mannequin doll, standing in the middle of an almost squared, pink space. The central flooring is covered with thousands of pink postcards depicting the mannequin doll dressed in the Flora Danica Dress.

The space is filled with ambient Chinese temple garden music.

+ See the dress on display at the main store of Royal Copenhagen.

The project is a research into a larger upcoming fashion installation.
