The project is a research-pedagogical initiative in which students explore how worn-out work clothes can be transformed into new textile and spatial structures through reuse. The clothes, marked by traces of work, time and use, are torn, cut into strips and rewoven into large-scale textile surfaces.
\nThe process is based on slow manual work \u2013 tearing, cutting, assembling and weaving \u2013 through which the material gradually loses its original function and acquires a new form, meaning and spatial role. Initial small-scale experiments and spatial studies explore the relationships between material, weaving rhythm, colour, body and space.
\nAs the work develops into larger spatial installations, weaving extends beyond its traditional role and becomes a tool for creating soft architectures and textile landscapes. The exhibition raises questions of sustainability, work, material memory and the circulation of materials. The worn-out clothing does not entirely lose its past: traces of previous use remain present in the new structures, establishing a dialogue between the material\u2019s former function and its new life.<\/p>\n
