The exhibition ‘Echo‘ is about the intimate connection between clothing and memory through the lens of three artists: fashion designer Simone Rocha, artist Louise Bourgeois, and choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. All three use clothing, textiles and personal memories to shape their creations and tell stories.
The exhibition highlights several themes, including motherhood, childhood and nostalgia, crafts and repair, clothing memories and the passage of time. In addition, the exhibition also displays ‘imperfect’ garments from the MoMu collection, which reveal the presence of their previous wearers and tell stories of a life lived, of scars, sweat, tears and pleasure.
