(un)Uniform

画一性を与える従来のユニフォームとは逆に、集団がもつ習慣や関係性から多様をつなぐ形を与えてゆく。取手アートプロジェクトでは毎年、スタッフは誰となく、その年のテーマカラーが入った物を身に付け始める習慣がある。スタッフからさまざまな私物を集めてテーマカラーのパーツを抽出し、組み合わせて独特な形を作る。

Unlike traditional uniforms that make everyone look the same, (un)Uniform confers new designs that connect people’s diversity within a group’s customs and relationships. The staff of the Toride Art Project dress in a color that changes annually. Following this custom, Yoshinari Nishio combined thematically colored elements of their personal belongings to create unique designs.
