Byzantine Bodies
‘Byzantine Bodies: Fashion in the Post-Anthropocene’ is a speculative window display that ‘displays’ a precarious future of fashion. The concept of "Byzantine Bodies" redefines the human form. The term “byzantine” refers to something excessively complicated, thus speculating on an era of uncertainty where environmental damage and societal instability challenge humanity’s survival. The display presents a futuristic fashion aesthetic: an emerging human figure in a dynamic pose that symbolises resilience and strength despite this future. It aims is to pose two questions: how will fashion evolve in an uncertain future? And how might fashion curation adapt to meet the speculative demands of such a ‘Byzantine’ time? Ultimately, the display invites emotional engagement that inspires curiosity and encourages viewers to think critically about navigating uncertainty collectively.
