Relay Column: The Memories Told by Clothes – On Expanding Movies through Imagination (Satsuki)
PROFILE
Satsuki
Born in Tokyo in 1997. After graduating from the Department of Scenography, Display, and Fashion Design at Musashino Art University, she began working as a freelance assistant for live-action film costumes and art. Recently, she has also been working on costume and prop design for animation.
Every item of clothing you are wearing now certainly has a memory. There are two main types of these memories.
The first is the memory leading up to the item becoming your possession. In other words, its process of manufacturing and distribution, or if it's second-hand, its history with its previous owner(s).
The second is the memory after the item has become your possession. The memory layers of the clothing are woven by the random repetition of the item being picked from the closet, worn, actively used with your body, aged and damaged like humans, then removed, washed, folded, or carelessly thrown on the floor.
In addition to its physical history, impressions sympathetically associated by the wearer, such as "My friend gave this dress to me," "I wore this outfit at a certain place," "I like its material," "I like its design," or "It's starting to grow too small," completes the current relationship between the item and the person.
