Ontologia Pupae
Thornquist, C. 2009. Borås: CTF.
This work examines the basis of creation originating in the tailor mannequin as an unquestioned a-priori and pre-model for theorization, model making and design development. On one hand, the tailor’s mannequin is made to suggest a quality of blandness and impartiality. On the other, the freedom that may characterise it seems to be deeply rooted in necessity. This is to say; in this pre-model there is evidence of its resistance to transformation post by its matter, as well openness to truth because of its disability for closure.
