In our love affair with clothes, we all resemble Don Juan – the insatiable and merciless playboy. We want to own the latest fashion items, merge with them and show ourselves to the world clad in our newest acquisition. Yet, as soon as the season has passed, we put away the now old lovers to hunt for new conquests. Piles upon piles upon piles.

On the pyre of her fashion addiction, Maria Magdalena Kozłowska, together with jazz musician Bjørk Delcroix Semey, dives deep into the loneliness of this dreamlike dumpster. In search of an erotic relationship, they serenade their clothing. Moving between a fashion victim’s suicide note and a requiem for consumerism, they approach fashion with an almost necrophiliac desire.

The unexpected encounters between objects and performers result in funny and monstrous living sculptures. The musical score, full of echoes and loops, creates a psychedelic soundscape enriched by contemporary music. Appalling and obscene, yet weirdly appealing.
