Outburst - Summer 2021
“At the beginning there was only Chaos, Night, dark Erebus, and deep Tartarus.”
In Greek mythology, Chaos (or Khaos) is the first entity in the universe, the primordial god of the abyss and the big bang that created the universe, therefore, the oldest form of divine conscience.
The divine nature of Chaos was lost with time. Chaos, an androgynous god, brings with them the masculine and the feminine, this is a feature of all the primordial gods in all mythologies. Chaos means “cut”, “break” and “separation".
Chaos, a catalytic, ancient and obscure force, as the primitive organisms studied by biology, manifests life by dividing elements. While Eros is a force that thrives from union.
In physics, small differences in initial conditions produce widely divergent results for dynamic systems, making long-term prediction impossible. In general, this happens despite the fact that these systems are deterministic, which means that their future behavior is not entirely determined by their initial conditions, with no random elements involved. In other words, the deterministic nature of these systems makes them unpredictable. This behavior is known as Chaos.
Our collection "Outburst" studies the idea of Chaos as a juxtaposition and creation of new elements. The concept of a new society (or a new way of living) comes from the human necessity of structuring Chaos. Chaos arises in a virulent and contagious environment that characterises human society. The clash of materials and colors, patterns and textures suggests a new masculinity. The irony in the use of patterns that reminds us of a recent past is appealing to affective memory. Shapes descendant from workwear evoke the idea of union. The composition of these elements pursue something new in regards to a solution for what is happening with manhood.
