Repetition
The generic t-shirt is transformed via graded repetition, layered and worn all at once. The garment is displayed as it appears in the archive – as one hundred folded t-shirts – along with a film illustrating the process of dressing the mannequin, providing a glimpse into archival practices that are typically hidden.

Festival
Dining evokes regular ritual. It summons other sorts of repetitions that are dually ephemeral and enduring, such as dressing and eating. Strange yet familiar objects draw attention to the subtleties of daily life and prompt us to consider our habits. Traces of invisible dinner guests are present at the foot of the table.
