In this group Mascha Mioni rerpresents "Art to Wear" and relates to the early works of Elsi Giaugue, from a time when this word-creation had not yet been invented.
In the beginning she colored fine silk, painted on it and folded it in meticulous detail work, to then drape it around the body. Such a "dress" could be body-wrap or hung on the wall as artpiece. In her newest creations she carried the idea to take the picture from the wall and drape it around the body to extremes by taking an empty white canvas and drape it with a few creases to a dress. The metamorphosis Picture - Dress - Art-object, was completed. With her installation "Skins of Humanity" she broaches the relation between body and soul. The main figure is surrounded by so called word-pictures, skeletons of phrases, seemingly from a diary, which can be read as self-contained thoughts.
