Vestito-Natura Sassi (Nature-Dress Rock)

"Vestito-Natura," a wearable polyurethane foam carpet, brought art into the realm of life. The work was intended to be worn and influence the body and its behavior while being simultaneously impacted by this interaction. At the Piper Club, young women wore these gowns, moved themselves freely and danced along with everyone else.

"Vestito-Natura" is an object that recalls our primordial essence and comes to life through the interaction of body and art in performance—thereby building on the Body Art movement of the 1960s, which came out of the Performance Art movement of the late 1950s.

"Vestito-Natura Sassi"—where the stones from a pebbly riverbed or a beach cover the body—is a work that expresses itself through a profound correspondence with the person who animates it.
