Self-Select: The Archive

《Self-Select》の擬似体験ができる装置として開発されたこれらの衣服には、さまざまな調節機能が備わっており、ゴムなどで数箇所を調節することができる。あなたが試着する服は、身体性も精神性も異なる誰かによって、既に調節されたものだ。試着した後は、自由に調節し、着直していくことで、その衣服はあなた自身を記憶するメディアに変わり、今度は見知らぬ誰かの揺らぎを生み出すものになる。

Self-Select: The Archive is clothing designed to enable a simulated experience of the Self-Select series. The clothing items are highly adjustable, with rubber and so on allowing the wearer to make changes in several places. The clothes were already adjusted by someone else in both a physical and spiritual sense. After trying them on, you are able to modify them freely and then try them on again. In this way, the clothing becomes a medium that records a memory of you. And this subsequently has an effect on a complete stranger.
