As a new work in the exhibition, Sean Dower’s ‘Clothes Recycling Video’ played on questions of identity and above all the recycling culture of the second-hand clothing hype. Dressing culture is also the subject of special guests, Purple Institute, from Paris. Almost unknown in Berlin, the magazine was presented in Berlin for the first time as ‘Purple Number One’. The summer issue of the artists’ magazine was launched in a redesign: the previously published single issues ‘purple prose,’ ‘purple fashion,’ ‘purple fiction’ and ‘purple sexe’ now came in one volume provocatively stating the indivisibility of lifestyle, sexual preference and imagination.
