About Restructional Projects:
A second hand garment holds - besides that its been bought - used/worn and rejected parameters such as: silhouette, pattern construction, and material but also the politics of consumption, production, and trends. Also including the architectonic aspects as well as the emotional, tactile and olfactory senses/memories. From these parameters Restructional Projects evolve and what often starts with a problem solving idea ends up in a project. These project outcomes can be an exhibition, a performance, a film, text or clothing.
Ninna Berger has a Masters in Textiles from Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts, and Design in Stockholm and titles herself as a Textile Artist working with clothing. In what is often called an in between field of art/textiles/fashion is where Restructional Projects is found.
When working with her master degree project in 2007, she coined the term Restruction, to define or discover a literal platform in this in between field.
An introduction to Restructional Clothing.
An act of recycling can be very specific; old newspapers recycled become the basis of new news. Paper is recycled into new paper whilst clothes, after a season or less, become unfashionable and recycled objects of global trade. In Restructional Clothing used clothes are methodologically recycled into new clothing design. As many parameters of used clothing as possible are reused; silhouette, material and pattern construction. Every garment is fully handcrafted which makes every Restructional Clothing piece unique.
