Zoë Costume
This project is mainly making costumes commissioned by A Good Catch Circus for the new show Zoë. It navigates the resigning world and solastalgia through experimental acrobatic moves. It also explores human and non-human relationships in advanced capitalism through interaction between bodies and performative costumes, innovative sound, and lighting effects. The costumes are an intrinsic element of the concept and narrative. I am pleased to join the Zoë production team, whose members welcome creative contributions, and I have been given substantial freedom in design and construction. A Good Catch is an unorthodox art house circus company. They aim to experiment without fear of failure, without adhering to genre expectations, and with curiosity about what a circus can be.
The costumes extend the Finding Children of Compost project into performance since the concept aligns with Zoë’s. The lichen costumes and Zoë performers become the interactive medium that explores human and non-human relationships in a new dimension.
Each outfit consists of a deconstructed lichen shirt, sculptural headgear, printed leggings, and sculpted footwear. The white shirt represents the corporate world, while the lichen represents the symbiotic relationships between human and non-human. Through wearing unpractical costumes (for circus), A Good Catch circus endeavours to reconsider and reinvent conventional circus language.
